Decisive figure delivers late breakthrough for Birmingham at Sheffield Wednesday | OneFootball

Marvin Ducksch broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute with a crisp finish as Birmingham City beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0.

After the restart he had already forced a save with a driven effort (51.), signalling the threat he carried across the front line.

He then found more space and peppered The Owls' box again, flashing another attempt wide (58.) before striking the decisive goal (83.).

He finished with five attempts, three on target, plus seven touches in the box and 14 successful final third passes, underlining how he paired volume with penalty area presence.

Because Birmingham moved the ball into him early and often, his runs kept The Owls off balance and ensured the key phases tilted the visitors' way.

Birmingham rise from 14th to 13th in the Championship and host Stoke City next. The Owls visit Bristol City next.
