The second half saw Brentford intensify their pressure, eventually finding an equaliser in the 81st minute when Thiago converted his second penalty of the night following a foul by Crysencio Summerville. Despite chances for both sides in extra time—including a goalbound effort from Callum Wilson that was brilliantly saved by Caoimhin Kelleher—the match proceeded to a shootout.
