Nottingham Forest continued preparations for the 2025/26 campaign with 90 minutes against European opposition at the City Ground this evening.
Forest went head-to-head with Italian side ACF Fiorentina in NG2, where the contest ended goalless on Trentside.
The Reds are back in action on Saturday when Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah visit the City Ground.
Forest created the first chance of the evening on 14 minutes when Neco Williams’ clever pass found Dan Ndoye in space in the Fiorentina box. The summer signing’s effort on the turn was parried away by Davd de Gea in Viola’s goal.
Fiorentina responded with a chance of their own 10 minutes later when Matz Sels did well to keep the ball out of the Forest net.
Jesus tested De Gea on 34 minutes when his low effort was held by the Spaniard as the game began to open up.
On the stroke of half time, Sels was called into action to deny Moise Kean at the Italian’s feet before Dodo’s follow-up clipped the top of the crossbar on its way into the Bridgeford End.
Forest responded well when Hudson-Odoi’s stinging effort was kept out by de Gea in the final action of the first half.
Both sides cancelled each other out in the second period as valuable minutes were earned for both sides.
The Reds welcome Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah to NG2 on Saturday. Tickets are on sale here.
