The start was cut off by Baek Seung-ho (28, Birmingham City). Baek Seung-ho started as a central midfielder and played full-time against Ipswich Town at St. Andrews in Birmingham, England on the 9th (Korea time). Baek Seung-ho received a lot of attention even before the opening. Baek Seung-ho, who remained in League 1 (third division) amid Birmingham's strong courtship last season, immediately promoted the team to the championship with his clashing performance.
Birmingham has also made massive investments this summer, with many British media speculating that Paik Seung-ho is a 'Ace'. He showed his best performance from the first game. Baek Seung-ho, who worked with Tomoki Iwata from Japan in the midfield, showed his personal ability for 90 minutes. Baek Seung-ho, who recorded a total of 50 ball touches, had a great influence on offense and defense, including 36 pass successes, one dribble success, one key pass, four successful ground competitions, four successful aerial ball competitions, two fouls, two fouls, and one tackle.
In particular, the post-pressure play, which was shown in the 31st minute of the second half when the team was leading 1-0, drew local praise. The local magazine 'Birmingham Mail' said 'The single touch of controlling the falling ball and peeling off the opponent was really good'Baek Seung-ho is the best soccer player. He praised Baek Seung-ho for his short performance in the championship two seasons ago. He gave him a nine-point rating, the highest in the team.
Despite Baek Seung-ho's performance, Birmingham unfortunately drew 1-1. Jay Stansfield led the way with a first goal in the 10th minute of the second half, but he allowed George Hirst to equalize the penalty in the 5th minute of extra time in the second half.

Stoke City gave Charlton Morris the first goal in the 15th minute of the second half, but Lewis Baker in the 20th minute, Dibin Mubama in the 50th minute, and Sova Thomas in the 99th minute secured a pleasant 3-1 victory.
Yang Min-hyuk (19), who left Tottenham for Portsmouth on loan, also made his debut. Yang Min-hyuk took the ground in the 22nd minute of the second half against Oxford at Casam Stadium in Oxford, England. Less than a day after the official announcement, he immediately started playing. Manager John Musinho expressed expectations, saying, `Yang Min-hyuk's direct play will be of great help to us.'
Yang Min-hyuk led the Portsmouth attack with active movement and bold pressure on the left side. In the 24th minute of the second half, he attempted a bold right-footed shot, but slightly off the post. Portsmouth won 1-0 in the 38th minute with Adrian Segecic's winning goal.
