After the break, Coventry is in advance. At the 55th half, Carl Rushworth made a long pass to Jay Dasilv, who dodged to the free kick and calmly passed Macel Selsa - 0:1.
Nottingham tried to win and finally scored. Igor Jesus quickly beat the Coventry defense and sent the ball into the net, but after a VAR review, the referee gave away the goal through a foul by the Brazilian on Kaleb Erenki.
