Forest's first big moment arrived at 25'24'', when the away side moved in front and gave themselves control of the friendly. That breakthrough shaped the first half, with Notts County unable to find a reply before the interval and the score staying at 0-1.
The match tilted further in Forest's favour at 53'16''. A second away goal created breathing room and left the hosts chasing from two down for the rest of the afternoon. From that point, the visitors managed the game well and never let Notts County back into it.
The highlights were concentrated around those two goals, and they ultimately told the whole story. Forest were efficient, took their chances in both halves and protected their lead to the final whistle. Notts County, meanwhile, were left with a frustrating summary: no breakthrough in front of goal and another reminder of how damaging an early concession can be.
In simple terms, the score and the core stats that matter most lined up neatly with the flow of the game - Forest scored once before halftime, once after the restart, and finished with a shutout.
