A thrilling Championship clash at Griffin Park saw Brentford emerge victorious over Nottingham Forest with a 2-1 final score.
Brentford, playing at home, controlled a significant portion of the game, boasting 54% possession. They registered 12 total shots, with 5 on target, demonstrating a potent attacking strategy. Nottingham Forest, despite their efforts, held 46% possession, and managed 17 total shots, with 8 on goal. Their approach was to create chances from longer distance shots.
The game was a back-and-forth affair filled with exhilarating moments. Brentford's early pressure paid off with two goals; one in the 63rd minute scored by Sergi Canós, assisted by Harlee Dean and another in the 89th minute by P. Hofmann. Nottingham Forest fought back admirably, pulling one back in the 74th minute through H. Lansbury. This was after a quick substitution by Forest, introducing Ryan Mendes, and a key substitution for Brentford, Sergi Canós coming on for J. Swift.
However, Brentford's resilience and tactical prowess ultimately secured the win. A red card to Harlee Dean in the 71st minute certainly disrupted the flow of play. Both teams had a few yellow cards, but it was the overall display of athleticism, particularly from Brentford that sealed the victory. A fantastic match for the fans present at Griffin Park!
