    As the first half progressed, Birmingham City began to assert themselves. Their efforts culminated in the 83rd minute when Jay Stansfield found the back of the net, breaking the deadlock and giving the visitors a crucial lead. This goal proved decisive, as Stevenage struggled to mount a comeback in the remaining minutes.
