Defensively, City remained organised and disciplined, preventing Durham from creating any significant chances during the first half.
Second-Half Authority and Clinical Finishing

Durham continued to work hard and compete, but a confident Birmingham defence ensured there was no route back into the contest.

Birmingham combined energy, organisation and attacking intent, while maintaining focus defensively to secure a clean sheet. The balance between control and intensity highlighted the team’s growing confidence and cohesion as the season progresses.
