In the Premier League 2 game that took place on 14 August 2023, we witnessed the Nottingham Forest U21 team end up in a draw with Middlesbrough U21, with a score of 2-2.

It appeared to concurrently be an offence-heavy match for both teams. Middlesbrough U21 started the match aggressively, registering the first goal at the 6:48 minute mark of the first half. However, Nottingham Forest U21 retaliated with their first goal at the 28:54 minute mark, leveling the scores. The competition hardened when Middlesbrough U21 seized another early lead, scoring their second and final goal of the match at 36:05 minutes in the first half.

They collected a total of 3 yellows, while Nottingham received only one yellow.

As for the home team, their single yellow card was issued towards the end of the second half at the 73rd minute, potentially due to intensified efforts to level up or move ahead in the scoreline.

In conclusion, these performances indicate that Nottingham Forest U21 pushed for scoring opportunities more frequently, as reflected by the corner kicks. Nonetheless, the aggressive behavior of Middlesbrough U21 reflected in the higher yellow cards count seemed to balance the match, ending the clash in a 2-2 draw.
