Forest rounded off their pre-season campaign with a goalless draw against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday afternoon.
Head Coach Steve Cooper named a line-up which saw Brennan Johnson make his first appearance of pre-season having battled with injury, with Danilo and Morgan Gibbs-White supporting the Wales international in attack.
In what was a quiet opening 45 minutes, Frankfurt saw their best chance coming through Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe, who found space to arrow a left-footed effort towards goal which was parried away by George Shelvey down low to his left inside four minutes.
The Bundesliga side worked their way into plenty of dangerous areas in the first half, but were unable to break down a resilient Forest defence.
World Cup winner Mario Götze looked to provide Jesper Lindstrøm with an opening on 19 minutes, but the latter’s shot from inside the area was turned behind via a solid Joe Worrall block.
Ryan Yates picked up a yellow card on the stroke of half-time for holding back Philipp Max as the German side looked to launch a counter-attack, but there was ultimately nothing to separate the two sides at the interval.
Forest started the brighter of the two sides in the second half, with Johnson heading wide from Danilo’s cross before The Reds had handball appeals waved away by the referee after Aurier’s cross struck a Frankfurt defender inside the area.
But the best chance of the second half fell the way of Frankfurt on 56 minutes. Lindstrøm got in-behind the Forest defence and squared for Randal Kolo Muani who only had George Shelvey to beat, but the goalkeeper produced a wonderful close-range save to keep the scores level.
Forest were then fortunate to remain level on 67 minutes when Makoto Hasebe’s lofted pass found Omar Marmoush who rounded Shelvey and hit the post from close-range. On the rebound, Jessic Ngankam could only hit the other post before Shelvey gathered.
Forest made their first changes either side of Danilo seeing a powerful right-footed drive tipped over by Kevin Trapp, with Johnson, Ryan Yates and Ola Aina making way for Chris Wood, Anthony Elanga and Neco Williams.
The Reds thought they had won it five minutes before the final whistle as Scott McKenna hammered a header home from Gibbs-White’s free-kick delivery, but the flag was raised for a foul in the build-up.
The match therefore ended all square in Germany in Forest’s final friendly before the start of the Premier League campaign.
