Match Recap

August Priske did the damage twice before Lincoln even had a chance to settle, and Birmingham made it count. His opener arrived in the 16th minute, and when he struck again just after the hour mark to restore a two-goal cushion, Lincoln's response, Tom Bayliss pulling one back in the 63rd, barely interrupted the visitors' momentum. Alex Cochrane added a third in the 73rd to put the Championship clash beyond doubt, sealing a 3-1 win that stretched Birmingham's unbeaten run to four matches (LWWWD) and lifted them to seventh on 20 points. Lincoln, stuck in 15th with just one win in five (WDLLL), had no answer once Bayliss's goal faded into the background. Birmingham's composure on the road told the whole story against a Lincoln side still searching for consistency at home. Watch Priske's second goal, the strike that turned a tight afternoon into a rout, in the highlights below.
