Highlights and goals: Leicester 2-0 Birmingham in EFL Championship

Corner kick for Birmingham that did not generate any danger, the only approach they have had in this second half, the home team that has it well controlled and does not leave spaces, it is also difficult for me to create them, it is on a free kick where they try.

Leicester had a chance!

The home team reacted quickly to Birmingham's attack and Ayew shot directly into the goal but the Birmingham goalkeeper responded very well and prevented the home team's second goal.

Birmingham tries! 

This time Gray's shot is deflected off the crossbar of the Leicester goal, the Birmingham team fails a lot in definition and it may cost them as the opponent is organizing better on the field.

In the last minutes there was friction and fouls by both teams, and also the stop at the beginning to attend to the player Gray,, however in the course of the match there has not, been much incidence...

Gray has been a key player for Birmingham City, taking part in all the plays and making the most dangerous appearances in the home team's box, despite a nasty fall at the beginning of the game.

The score remains 1-0 in favor of the home team.

The goal cooled the game down a lot, Leicester were no longer as dangerous in the Allsop goal despite constantly getting into the box and Birmingham, although not dropping their arms, did not create the space to hurt their opponents.

In terms of possession it is remarkable the superiority of Leicester that has 63% over 39% of Birmingham, with 9 total shots of the Blues over 6 of the visitors.

With 2 yellow cards for the home side and 1 for Birmingham, no red cards.

Birmingham is saved!

A powerful shot from Ayew but the goalkeeper Allsop flew and pulled the ball to the right side of the goal, a surprising move for the visitors who manage to get out of this play well, still looking for the goal.

After 20 minutes of intense play, both teams came out with the desire to attack and hurt their opponents, but it was Leicester who took advantage of the opportunity they had at the start of the game to take the partial victory.

Gray is starring in a smart Leicester side that keeps the score level. Birmingham dominate and look to push forward but the Leicester Blues defense is well stopped, Iwata tries to shoot but the ball goes wide.

Chance for Leicester!

Louis Page breaks through with speed, but the ball is deflected when the Leicester player seemed about to score, he couldn't have a good control of the ball, the visiting defense seems to be out of position.

Demarai Gray runs, and is knocked down, falling in a spectacular manner. The images don't show it the visitor Birmingham has time to compose himself, but it looks like he won't count on Gray, they understand on the pitch.

The first 45 minutes kick off between Leicester and Birmingham, quite a lot of people in the stadium to accompany this EFL Championship match, the whistle is blown and the ball is rolling to see how this match will end.

This is the starting eleven of Birmingham City to face Leicester City for the fourth date of the EFL Championship, without great novelties in the starting eleven, they will face this match where the home team will try to interpose their experience and superiority.

“But Leicester away for any team this season will be as hard as it gets, no doubt. But it is a game that we're looking forward to. It was an unknown coming back to the Championship, how would we do in these different games? And this is another real test away from home against a top side, so let's see how we can get on".

“Performance-wise, I've been encouraged by a lot of what I've seen in the games. We've given very few chances away, I think probably a lot less than anyone in the league. So, we've looked very solid in that sense, and we've been scoring goals in order to win matches so there's been a lot of positive signs early on".

“They are doing really well and I’m not surprised,” he commented on Chris Davies' side. “I talked already about this trend and dynamic of those teams who are recently promoted and how that is usually a positive.

“Birmingham has an ambitious project, but they did really well in League 1. They’ve started the season strong, with a clear identity on the way they want to play, so they are full of confidence".

After storming to the League One title last season, Birmingham have made an unbeaten start to their Championship campaign, winning two and drawing one of their first three matches to put themselves in fifth position in the standings. 

Blues kicked off the season with a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town, before they recorded 2-1 victories over Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers in the EFL Cup and league, respectively.

Birmingham made it three wins on the bounce when they edged out Oxford United via a 1-0 scoreline on Saturday, thanks to Paik Seung-ho's 40th-minute effort at St Andrew's.

Leicester are currently sitting in seventh place in the Championship table after winning two and losing one of Marti Cifuentes' first three league matches in charge. 

Cifuentes kicked off his tenure with a narrow 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday, before his team lost on penalties to Huddersfield Town in the EFL Cup and fell to a 2-1 defeat in their away league clash against Preston North End.

However, the Foxes managed to produce a positive response in their most recent outing against Charlton Athletic, with Abdul Fatawu scoring the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory at The Valley.
