In the 13th minute, Nottingham Forest took the lead thanks to Neco Williams, who finished off a cross from Daniel Muñoz, after a bright start for the team.

The away team took advantage of the goal to take the lead early on and appeared to be coasting as they attempted to increase their advantage and apply pressure to the home team.

Nonetheless, Ipswich remained resolute and kept pushing for an equalizer throughout the first half. In the 41st minute, when Forest defender Nikola Milenković made a defensive blunder, Julio Enciso scored a left-footed goal from outside the box, putting the home team back in the game, thanks to their efforts.

Both teams continued to struggle to find the back of the net in the second half, despite putting up a lot of effort. While Ipswich did their best to deny Forest a chance to win, Forest's Murillo, McAtee, and Hudson-Odoi all posed threats.

The match finally ended after a long nite at Portman Road because, despite eight minutes of extra time, neither team managed to score.

As a result of the draw, Ipswich Town gained one point and moved up to ninth place in the Premier League, while Nottingham Forest gained two points and escaped the relegation zone, moving up to sixteenth place.
