Igor Jesus scores twice but Nottingham Forest have to settle for Real Betis draw
Nottingham Forest’s first European match in nearly 30 years ended in a 2-2 draw as Manchester United flop Antony’s late strike extended boss Ange Postecoglou’s wait for his maiden victory in charge.
The two-time European Cup winners are back in continental competition for the first time since the 1995/96 season and kicked off the league phase with their toughest-looking assignment.
Forest showed spirit and skill in Seville, where Igor Jesus’ brace put them on course for a memorable victory as the visitors reacted impressively to Cedric Bakambu’s 15th-minute opener.
Our first goal in Europe in 30 years.
