Brentford lead 1-0 at the break thanks to Milenkovic's own goal, despite Forest dominating territory and chances. The visitors finish the half with nine shots to Brentford's four but have yet to hit the target, while Milenkovic also picked up a yellow card for a foul on Schade. A frustrating 45 minutes for Forest, who go in behind against the run of play.
- Half time · 1-0
- 45+1'
Forest have continued to press for an equaliser without managing to beat Kelleher, racking up nine shots to Brentford's four but still searching for a shot on target. Milenkovic was fortunate to stay on after his yellow card for a foul on Schade, and Jensen almost doubled Brentford's lead when his free-kick crashed against the bar. Gibbs-White's header just before the break was the closest Forest have come, but it's Brentford who go in 1-0 up at half-time.
