Nottingham Forest's return to European competition in the Europa League ended in a frustrating 2-2 draw against Real Betis in Seville.
Igor Jesus scored a brace for Forest, while Cedric Bakambu and Antony found the net for Real Betis.
Manager Ange Postecoglou's wait for a first victory extends to a fourth game, but he saw positives in the team's performance.
Postecoglou praised the 'outstanding' football and 'beauty' in some of Forest's constructed goals, despite acknowledging a lack of clinical edge.
Forest will now focus on their upcoming Premier League match against Sunderland at the City Ground, which will be Postecoglou's first home game.
