Before half-time, Mathias Jensen's free-kick struck the crossbar. Brentford's second arrived in the 76th minute when Igor Thiago scored from Jaidon Anthony's square ball, with another Milenkovic deflection.
Forest chances in the second half
Ryan Yates, a half-time substitute, missed a close-range header for Forest in the second period. Igor Thiago also made a goalline clearance to deny Morgan Gibbs-White a back-post header.
