The match's key stats sit in that split scoreline: 0-1 in the first recorded entry, followed by 2-1 in the second. Together, those figures produced two goals for Birmingham City, two for Middlesbrough FC, and the level 2-2 result. That sequence forms the clearest highlight from the completed score record.
The summary is straightforward. Middlesbrough FC established the first advantage, while Birmingham City supplied the stronger second entry. Neither side finished ahead once both scores were combined, and the Championship contest closed as a draw. The final score therefore remained the central fact of the result: 2-2.
The scoreline also gives the game a clear two-part shape - an away lead in the opening entry, a home response in the next, and no winner at the end. The result record closes with Birmingham City and Middlesbrough FC level, while the listed stats confirm a 0-1 opening score and a 2-1 second score.
