- The visitors scored in the 22nd minute and added a penalty just after the restart to reduce Forest’s cushion.
- Substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi struck in the 68th minute to restore control and settle the tie.
- Vitor Pereira made six changes, then executed a rare quadruple halftime substitution and later said he may have rotated too much.
