Three saves in draw Ortega had three saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Wolverhampton.

Impact Ortega turned in a sharp performance between the posts, finishing with three saves and coming up clutch on Wolves' best looks at goal. He reacted quickly to get down and parry Mateus Mane's low drive, then stonewalled him again at the near post in stoppage time when Wolves tried to steal momentum on the break. Outside of those flashpoints, he commanded his box with confidence and dealt cleanly with crosses as Forest dictated the run of play. It goes down as his first clean sheet of the season and his first for his new club in just two appearances, and he will aim to carry that rhythm into next Sunday's showdown with Liverpool.

He would see just as many appearances in the 2024/25 campaign as he did in the previous two campaigns combined. He will now likely return for another season in a backup role despite some news of a possible transfer out, as new reports have both him and Ederson remaining with the team.

He was excellent despite conceding a pair of goals, if not for his saves this could have been a very lopsided match. It's unclear if Ortega is going to be the starter moving forward or if this was about sending a message to the out-of-form Ederson, but either way Ortega showed he can be a solid contributor when starting.
