Brighton are knocking the ball around at the back but it's good pressing from Birmingham to not allow their opponents out.

When the hosts do manage to work it out, Kayleigh Green can't keep the ball in play on the wing.

Right then, we're back under way!

Danielle Carter comes on for Aileen Whelan as Brighton make a change at the break.

Brighton are back out and ready for action, but the Birmingham City players are taking their time here.

As it stands, Birmingham City will reduce the gap to Leicester to four points, with three games to go.

A huge 45 minutes ahead for the visitors as they aim to secure their second win of the campaign.

They were holding on, but Birmingham City are on course for a massive victory at the break.

Brighton hit the crossbar on the stroke of half-time!

Kayleigh Green meets the corner with a looping header, but it finds the top of the bar and Birmingham survive.

Emily Ramsey takes her time over a free-kick as Birmingham look to see this first-half advantage out.

Brighton aren't done yet though - and that's a super save by Ramsey!

Geum-min Lee is played through and drive a shot at goal, but Ramsey gets a strong hand to it to push it over the bar.

We'll have three minutes of added time at the end of the first half.

Goal scorer Veatriki Sarri stands over the free-kick... and that's not far away at all!

Sarri aims for the near corner, but her left-footed shot just bends wide of the post.

Promising for Birmingham, but Jade Pennock just runs out of space after cutting inside from the right and she can't get a shot away.

Brighton can't get it clear though, and the visitors earn a free-kick in a very promising position...

Geum-min Lee is brought down but the referee waves play on. Brighton attack again, but Emma Kullberg's crossed is booted away.

Much better from Birmingham, keeping hold of possession to ease the pressure on their back line, but Abi Cowie can't prevent the ball going out of play on the right.

Birmingham enjoy a rare spell in the Brighton half but there's no yellow shirts in the box as a cross sails straight out of play.

A few fouls and injuries certainly suits Birmingham better. Brighton were well on top but they've had their rhythm disrupted somewhat in the last few minutes.

It goes without saying but you feel it's so important for Birmingham to take this lead into half-time. They're edging closer to the break. Kayleigh Green is down again following a challenge on Brighton's left.

Birmingham have weathered the storm so far. Kayleigh Green receives treatment for a knock to offer time for everyone to catch their breath.

This time it's Geum-min Lee who sends in a ball from the left, but Louise Quinn heads it back out.

There's no rest for the Birmingham defence though. Everyone but Megan Walsh is in the visitors' half.

It's just not falling for Brighton in front of goal, and this attack ends as Birmingham are awarded a free-kick inside their own penalty area.

Emma Kullberg is getting plenty of space to run into on Brighton's left and sends another cross into the box - but again Birmingham get it clear.

Corner.

Nobody can force Megan Walsh into action from the set-piece, and Brighton quickly get down the other end.

Emma Kullberg is played in on the left but her low cross is cut out in the six yard box.
