Birmingham City won 1-0 at Swansea City in the EFL Cup, with August Priske's goal just before half-time proving decisive. The visitors were outplayed for long periods but took their one big chance, scoring from their only shot on target.
The only goal arrived in the 44th minute, Carlos Vicente supplying the assist for Priske to score. Birmingham then kept Swansea out after the interval, with Melker Widell booked in the 21st minute and Cameron Burgess in the 62nd. Swansea pushed for an equaliser but could not find a way past the visiting defence.
The stats showed Swansea's dominance: 61% possession, 14 shots to six, and six corners to four. Yet they managed only two shots on target, while Birmingham's single attempt on goal was the match-winner.
