Birmingham City defeated Bradford City 2-1 in the semi-finals of the English Football League (EFL) Virtue Trophy in the 2024-2025 season held on the 19th (Korea time).
On this day, Baek Seung-ho started and played full-time, contributing to the team's victory. Baek Seung-ho performed well, with an 82% pass success rate, one key pass, four long passes, and two dribbles.
Birmingham took the lead with Spansfield's first goal in extra time in the first half. Although Poynton scored an equalizer in the 9th minute of the second half, Dijks, who entered as a substitute in the 43rd minute of the second half, scored the winning goal and advanced to the final.
Birmingham City will play the final match at Wembley Stadium on April 13. The opponent is the winner of the semifinal match between Wrexham and Peterborough on the 27th of this month.
Lee Myung-jae is expected to win two trophies on the English stage not long after his transfer.
Birmingham currently ranks first in the EFL League 1 (third division) with 21 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in 29 games and 69 points. At this rate, the team will win the league with promotion.
Lee Myung-jae, who was not recruited as a main resource in the first place, is not receiving an opportunity, but time is expected to solve it. With Birmingham even caring about the EFL Virtue Trophy, the rotation opportunity could come.
