The other two goals came later in the second half at 49:01 and 1:26:25 stabilising their lead and thus, ultimately sealing the match.

An important marker in the match was the discipline of the two teams. While Brighton picked up three yellow cards (two in the second half and one in the first), Birmingham managed to keep a clean sheet with no yellow cards, which showcases their discipline in terms of playing style.

In conclusion, despite an equal share of corner kicks, the match was very much in Brighton's favour, thanks to their early goal and ability to maintain the lead despite disciplinary issues. The early scoring strategy could have unnerved Birmingham City, thus, leading them to make more offside errors and fail to make use of their corner opportunities. As suggested by the final scoreline, the major defining factor of the match was undoubtedly Brighton's superior ability to convert chances into goals. Their offensive dominance coupled with a disciplined defensive display paved the way to their decisive. victory.
