Birmingham City left Wrexham with a 2-1 win in the Championship, the result settled by Phil Neumann's two goals. Wrexham had more of the ball but could not turn that dominance into enough clear chances.
Neumann put Birmingham ahead in the 13th minute from Alex Cochrane's assist, and Wrexham levelled through Callum Doyle in the 54th minute after Lewis O'Brien set him up. Neumann then struck again in the 63rd minute, this time assisted by August Priske, to make it 1-2.
The stats underline how the game played out: Wrexham had 61% possession and made 374 accurate passes to Birmingham's 206, yet Birmingham created five big chances to Wrexham's one and edged the expected-goals count at 1.85 to 1.42. Phil Neumann's brace made the difference on a night when Birmingham were sharper in front of goal.
