""Igor Thiago's first-half strike looked like it would be enough to settle the tie, but substitute Mathias Jensen ensured they would clinch all three points in second-half stoppage time. Brentford were dominant throughout, and could have had more goals, with both Thiago and Kevin Schade hitting the crossbar, while Keane Lewis Potter was only inches away with a curling shot in the closing stages.""
""It was a very good performance. A lot of individuals taking the next steps. "More than once or twice [he was worried about them having not taken their chances]. It's the nature of the game. We managed the game pretty well but all it takes is a moment. "I think [this was the best performance]. We've shown parts of games and good results, but performance-wise, this is the most complete. "What we've seen from Thiago, he'll score goals. He's a handful. He's a personality.""
