Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Demarai Gray scored once and was the standout performer with a 9.44 rating as Birmingham City beat Huddersfield Town 3-1 in a Club Friendly. The result offered a comfortable workout for the hosts, though with no next fixture scheduled it remains an isolated run-out.

The opening goal arrived in the 20th minute when Gray found the net unassisted to give Birmingham the lead. The game remained tight until the closing stages, when Kyogo Furuhashi struck twice in the 87th and 88th minutes to seal the victory, leaving Huddersfield with no time to respond.

Birmingham controlled possession with 60% against Huddersfield’s 40%, but the visitors actually won more corners, three to two, suggesting a contest that was not entirely one-sided. Demarai Gray earned the highest rating of the match, 9.44, as a midfielder and scored once, justifying his selection as the hero. CheckLive's model rated Birmingham marginally ahead and the result confirmed that prediction, with no live signals to contradict the flow. No next fixture is set.
