Another display of statistical dominance by Forest. Which, of course, matters not a jot. How angry? Check the replies to this tweet. Forest’s desperate hunt for a third goal comes to nothing.
Midtjylland successfully chewed up the clock; Forest’s attacking efforts came to nothing, and that is that. The Danish side’s coaching staff are ecstatic. Ange Postecoglou? Not so much. He’s under enormous pressure—six games without a win, two draws, and four defeats. How many more will he get? It looks like they might get even more.
The referee has been summoned to the screen to review an incident where Ousmane Diao is alleged to have kicked Elliot Anderson in the box. Yep, it’s a penalty after the VAR review! Is there a late show to come here? Chris Wood will take it. GOAL. Now Forest have about 3-4 minutes left of stoppage time to find an unlikely equaliser.

And there’s the sucker punch. The visitors break quickly and score a third goal. The boos ring out at the City Ground. Ange Postecoglou has his hands on his head. He can’t believe what he’s seen.
That was way too easy, starting from Hudson-Odoi being dispossessed in his own half. Midtjylland spring forward, a simple pass is rolled into the path of Valdemar Byskov, and that’s the game. Fans are streaming out of the joint—they’ve seen enough.

Earlier, Gibbs-White forced a cracking save out of Olafsson. Corner kick now to Forest, who have been getting into some very good areas without reward, but it’s cleared, hacked away by Midtjylland, who are nearly away with a cracking victory. Just a few minutes left, plus stoppage time.

Jeepers. Wood has scored again, thanks to a cracking ball through the visiting defence by Sangare, and the Kiwi produces a fantastic finish. But the offside flag goes up again. This is painful.

Oh boy. It looked like Chris Wood had just equalised! But it won’t count. Neco Williams’ drive from outside the box forced a save from the Midtjylland goalkeeper, the spilled ball was cut across the face of goal, and Wood was there to tap it in—but before he could celebrate, the raised flag of the assistant referee killed the mood.
Barely 10 minutes to go now.
