With new manager Miron Muslic watching from the stands, Plymouth executed a disciplined defensive performance, limiting Brentford to just two early shots on target—both comfortably saved by Conor Hazard.

Despite bringing on star forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa in search of a breakthrough, Brentford failed to capitalize, with Wissa heading wide from close range in the dying moments.
