Nottingham Forest’s Europa League meeting with Portuguese outfit Braga took a dramatic turn for the worse in a hectic five minutes at the Municipal Stadium.
After a goalless first-half in which there was little to write home about, the match certainly sprung into life shortly after the break.

In the 50th minute, Forest were awarded a crucial penalty that was taken by Morgan Gibbs-White, only to be saved by Braga goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček.
Then, in the blink of an eye, Sean Dyche’s side found themselves a goal down as the hosts went straight up the other end to take the lead.
It was worked into the box by Braga and in an attempt to clear the ball, Ryan Yates instead turned the ball into his own net.
Forest now have a huge task on their hand to salvage something from the game, especially if they’re to have any hope of securing automatic qualification next week.
Can Dyche’s men turn things around?
