FC Midtjylland 1 Nottingham Forest 2 as Europa League tie goes to extra time | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest have forced extra time in Denmark, leading 2-1 on the night to level their Europa League tie with FC Midtjylland at 2-2 on aggregate.

According to Nottingham Post, defender Jair Cunha was ruled out with a foot problem, while goalkeeper Stefan Ortega returned to the UEFA A List after a calf issue and was in contention. Vitor Pereira planned changes but kept his senior players involved, emphasising the need for unity.

Forest started on top and created a flurry of chances. Billing cleared off the line and Lucca squandered a golden opening before the tie somehow remained goalless on the night.

Dominguez then looped a header in to make it 1-0 and bring the tie level. Yates added a second to put the visitors 2-0 up on the night.

Martin Erlic pulled one back for Midtjylland, leaving Forest 2-1 ahead after 90 minutes and sending the contest to extra time.

The score was unchanged at the extra-time interval, with Ortega producing a fine save just before the whistle. Penalties would follow if required.
