But a more assertive second half could and should have delivered the sort of victory that would have changed the narrative over their start to the season.
With Yoane Wissa still absent as speculation over his future rages, until Brazilian forward Thiago intervened the visitors lacked conviction in the final third, which was underlined by Schade's tame effort from 12 yards out.
There will also likely be a little scrutiny attached to Caoimhin Kelleher's role in the Sunderland winner.
The Republic of Ireland goalkeeper had a couple of shaky moments before he got a hand to Isidor's header but failed to prevent the ball from finding the back of the net.
Brentford manager Keith Andrews speaking to BBC Match of the Day after their 2-1 defeat at Sunderland: "We grew into the game. I was not entirely pleased with the first-half performance. I thought we could have played with a little bit more conviction and control.
"Obviously it was a very topsy-turvy second half. Players since they've come back from pre-season have been practicing their penalties. There is no issue on that. Players will miss penalties. I am okay with that.
"I thought one was a rugby tackle and one was body contact. I thought we should have had another one in the first half. We are diligent in how we try to mark and how officials and VAR officials will see things.
On the future of Yoanne Wissa: "Our stance has not changed through the summer. Unless anything has happened today, I expect Yoanne to be a Brentford player come Tuesday."

Sunderland had that brilliant start against West Ham and they had a tight game with Burnley. I thought it'd be a draw but Burnley ultimately got the win.
Brentford played very well at Aston Villa and deserved their win in what was a massive result for Keith Andrews.
I've said before I know people have written Brentford off but they are an experienced, battle-hardened Premier League side. I think their win last week would've done them the world of good. They should win again on Saturday.
Sutton's prediction: 0-1

Sunderland and Brentford meet in matchround three with both sides aiming to secure their second Premier League win of the season. BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before Saturday's fixture at the Stadium of Light.
New kids on the block
For the first time since May 2023, the Premier League's bottom three contains no promoted teams from last season's Championship.
All three of Sunderland, Leeds and Burnley have won one of their opening two league games of the campaign – a feat that took last season's trio until November to achieve.
The signs, therefore, look positive that perhaps for the first time in three years at least one of the promoted sides can avoid relegation.
Home form key for Sunderland
This summer has seen 12 new signings arrive at the Stadium of Light for an initial expense of over £140m and head coach Régis Le Bris admitted after last week's defeat to Burnley that his side needed to "learn and grow", emphasising the fact that his new-look team "struggled to create rhythm in the final third".
If they are to succeed in their objective of avoiding an immediate return to the second tier the Black Cats will likely need to rely on their home form.
A vociferous backing of 46,000 Mackems drove Les Bris' side to a 3-0 victory against West Ham on the opening day to get them off to the perfect start.
However, last season in the Championship the North East side won just 12 of 23 matches in their own stadium, leaving them with just the sixth best home record in the division.
Sunderland may need to improve their home form to survive this season
Brentford win - but without the ball
Brentford, meanwhile, found their own home comforts last week, beating Aston Villa 1-0 to ease the initial concerns that followed their 3-1 opening day defeat at Nottingham Forest.
In a game that boss Keith Andrews hailed as "scrappy, ugly…..and I loved it", Brentford showed their resilience was still evident after substantial summer departures.
The Bees made just 178 passes to Villa's 587 while enjoying only 24% possession, their lowest ever in a Premier League victory and the 18th lowest share of any winning side in the competition. They averaged 47% possession when winning matches in the Premier League last season.
Brentford's style of play was different in their win against Aston Villa
Despite defeat at Forest, no team have won more points away from home in 2025 than Brentford's 23, with seven wins the club's joint-most ever in a top-flight calendar year away from home.
England boss Thomas Tuchel has selected his 24-man squad for the September World Cup qualifiers.
Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford, James Trafford, Dean Henderson
Defenders: Reece James, Marc Guehi, John Stones, Dan Burn, Ezri Konsa, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Tino Livramento, Djed Spence
Midfielders: Elliot Anderson, Morgan Gibbs-White, Jordan Henderson, Adam Wharton, Morgan Rogers, Declan Rice
Forwards: Harry Kane, Eberechi Eze, Jarrod Bowen, Anthony Gordon, Noni Madueke, Marcus Rashford, Ollie Watkins

Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Sunderland at Stadium of Light (kick-off 15:00).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Yoane Wissa remains out of contention as Andrews focuses on the "settled group" of players who don't have any "issues ongoing". The Bees boss confirmed there has been "no movement" on a potential move away and is confident the striker will be at Brentford once the transfer window closes.
The squad remains the same as the one that travelled to Bournemouth on Tuesday with the exception of the returning Jordan Henderson.
That victory over the Cherries in the Carabao Cup showed Brentford with a back five defensive line and Andrews wants his side to remain "adaptable" and "flexible" to changing systems, but didn't confirm if they will be staying with that formation.
When asked about any additional incomings or outgoings this summer, he said: "Weird and wonderful things could happen in the last few days. Possibly one or two of the younger players may go on loan if we feel it's right."
He continued: "I'm pretty content with what we've got. If the club feel it's right to bring someone in that will add to that, then obviously we'll try to do that."
On facing Sunderland he said: "I can't wait for it. It's a traditional ground and, with the journey they've been on as a football club, having dipped down one or two divisions at times, they have a fanbase that is clearly so passionate and engaged.
Andrews added: "I'm really looking forward to the atmosphere and I know our players will feed off that. We saw the best of them in periods against West Ham - they can be very, very dangerous."

Teenager Coran Madden has left Cliftonville to sign for Premier League side Brentford.
The 16-year-old became the youngest player in the Reds' history when he made his debut and registered an assist in a 4-0 win against Loughgall in November.
Madden went on to make eight more Irish Premiership appearances for Jim Magilton's side and scored his first goal in a BetMcLean League Cup win against Armagh City.
Speaking to the Bees' website upon signing for the west London club, Madden said he was excited to get started.
"I like the fact that I can get better every day, just that one per cent every day," he said.
"I really can't wait. Hopefully I can provide goals, assists and show what I can do."

Here are some of your comments:
Bournemouth fans
Peter: A poor performance for a team which has set high standards. Very disjointed and unable to unlock a solid defence. Time is needed to bed in new signings and those players recovering from injury.
Chris: Shocking by Bournemouth - the worst I've seen them play since we got relegated from the Premier League last time. Frustrating as we should be pushing for a League Cup run.
Paul: As a Cherries fan, I'm dismayed by the extent of players sold this summer. It's really going to be a long, hard season and our Premier League status might be at risk.
Brentford fans
Nick: Good, strong defensive display and ruthless on the counter-attack. Excellent away performance.
Jon: That's two results in a row that have rather flattered the Bees. I'm still concerned that over the full season their luck will even out and it could be a nail-biting end to avoid relegation. But if we do, then it's still an incredible achievement!
David: The boys played a very well-structured game. The formation was a master class from Andrews. The substitutes en masse gave fresh energy too. Brentford are certainly on the road to being back to their best.
Image source, Getty ImagesBBC Senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel believes Brentford's reported interest in Borussia Dortmund forward Max Beier could "finally unlock" Yoane Wissa's move to Newcastle.
The Magpies have had two bids rejected for Wissa, with the latest worth up to £40m, as they continue to deal with their own wantaway striker Alexander Isak, who is currently refusing to play as he seeks a move to Liverpool.
It was reported in Wednesday's BBC Sport gossip column that the Bees are interested in 22-year-old Germany forward Beier, and Mokbel believes that move could set off a chain reaction.
"You would imagine that from Wissa's perspective and his advisors' perspective that would finally unlock his move," he told the Football Daily podcast.
"They were of the assumption that when Brentford completed the signing of Dango Ouattara he could go, provided that Newcastle made a sufficient bid. Ouattara is in the building, yet Wissa is still hanging on for his move.
"I was chuffed for Keith Andrews to get that first league win. You feared for him because it's his first managerial job, it's the Premier League, and he had a big bump in the road against Forest in their first game of the season.
"It goes to prove that there is life after Thomas Frank, life after Bryan Mbeumo, after Mark Flekken and Christian Norgaard.
"Now they've got that three points over the line, maybe they'll look at Wissa's situation and think 'we can cope without him, let's do a deal' and bring in a player who wants to be there.
"Wissa has made it abundantly clear he wants to go to Newcastle."
Image source, Getty ImagesBrentford boss Keith Andrews, speaking after his side's 2-0 win at Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup:
"We knew it would be a tough test for obvious reasons, it was probably as tough of a draw that we could've got away from home against a very good Premier League team.
"I wanted to utilise the squad this week because they deserve it.
"It doesn't really surprise me to be honest, it's what I fully expected; a performance to make me think about things going into the game against Sunderland. There were some outstanding performances.
"Playing three 90-minute games in the space of a week was always going to be difficult for everybody to do so early in the season, and I think you could see the commitment levels and the togetherness of the group was there in abundance.
"It's a carry on from the other day [against Aston Villa] in terms of that solidity and that selfless nature of how we played the game."

Image source, Getty ImagesThat's better, Brentford!
The win over Aston Villa on Saturday just shows what we can do when we are fielding our strongest line-up.
I said last week that despite the woeful performance at Nottingham Forest, I wasn't panicking about our prospects for the season, and Saturday's display backed that up.
Five key changes to the side meant the team was worlds apart from the previous weekend, and despite weathering some pressure, we deserved to beat Villa.
The brilliant Mikkel Damsgaard had one of his best games in a Bees shirt.
Jordan Henderson showed on his first start what he will bring us, with a calmness in front of the defence and some pinpoint passing.
Dango Ouattara's debut could not have gone better with his early goal and lively performance, and while Kevin Schade had one of his quieter games, he still caused Villa problems.
Meanwhile, Keane Lewis-Potter resumed his left-back duties from last season and was back to his best.
Add to all that classy displays from Michael Kayode and captain Nathan Collins and you can see why I've constantly said we will be fine this campaign.
Keith Andrews also showed some brave management in the last 15 minutes to see out the game - switching from a 4-3-3 line-up to 3-5-2 and changing most of the defence in the process.
It could have backfired, but he got it right, and his decision preserved the three points and our clean sheet.
Of course, we weren't perfect.
As at Forest, we didn't create that many chances, suggesting we won't be as free-scoring as last season.
And while the team and bench were strong, we looked two or three injuries away from potential problems.
However, Saturday was a cause for celebration mixed with relief that our new era is well and truly up and running.
