"Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, the onus was on Forest to take the game to their hosts and they did that in a dominant first-half that ought to have been rewarded with more than Nicolas Dominguez's header. Ryan Yates curled in a brilliant second but Midtjylland hit back through Martin Erlic to take the game to extra-time."
"Forest were flawless with Morgan Gibbs-White, Ibrahim Sangare and Neco Williams all converting. Midtjylland's first two efforts, from Cho Gue-sung and Aral Simsir, both hit the woodwork before Edward Chilufya skied his effort to send Forest through."
"It wasn't all good news for boss Vítor Pereira, though, as despite making nine changes to his starting XI, he had to call upon the likes of Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson rather than rest them ahead of Sunday's crunch relegation clash at Tottenham."
