Baek Seung-ho's Birmingham won 3-1 at home against Wrexham in the sixth round of the English League One (third division) at St Andrews Nighthead Park in Birmingham, England on the 17th (Korea time).
Baek Seung-ho started five consecutive games under coach Chris Davis' absolute confidence and played a full-time role. He played as a third-line midfielder in the 4-2-3-1 formation and led the game with Japanese ace Tomoki Iwata in the midfield.
Birmingham was shaken by giving up a lucky first goal to Wrexham Jack Marriott in the third minute of the first half, but in the 22nd minute and the 7th minute of the second half, Jay Stansfield of £20 million (about 35 billion won) scored consecutive goals and turned the game around 2-1.
Baek Seung-ho of the midfield flashed in the 14th minute of the second half when he continued his unstable advantage. He connected a sensational one-touch space pass to Iwata, who ran, and Iwata's left foot shot without delay hit the net and scored a net goal. Baek Seung-ho's first offensive point this season. Baek Seung-ho hugged Iwata and his teammates and was sure of victory.
Birmingham captain Christian Bielic left in the 36th minute and 41st minute and 5th minute of the second half, accepting two consecutive yellow cards, facing a 10-11 numerical inferiority and crisis, but Birmingham defended the 3-1 victory by blocking Wrexham's wave offensive with the power of the original team.

Birmingham raced to second place in the league with four wins and one draw (13 points) and an unbeaten run since the opening. Wrexham, who played one more game, lost for the first time of the season, ranking second in a close game, with 13 points and two goals behind in goal difference.
Baek Seung-ho's first point of the season, who scored the winning goal in the league's final match against Norwich City last season, is also meaningful. After Birmingham's relegation, Baek Seung-ho was linked to multiple clubs such as Championship (second division) Leeds and Sheffield in the summer transfer market, but the transfer was canceled as Birmingham, which aims to return to the second division, made clear its intention to protect Baek Seung-ho. In addition to the help of the day, Baek Seung-ho showed a confident play with a sharp left-footed mid-range shot in the 13th minute of the first half, clearly showing his presence as the ace of Birmingham.
Football statistics site Footmob gave Baek Seung-ho an 8.0 rating, the third highest among Birmingham players, with 86% pass success rate, two chances creation, 100% success rate in aerial ball competition, one interception, four recovery, and one dribble success.
