Huddersfield Town chances of avoiding relegation from the Championship were all but dashed despite a hard-fought draw against Birmingham City. Koji Miyoshi put Birmingham ahead in the final minute of the first half but Rhys Healey early second-half strike leveled the score. With Huddersfield needing a win to keep their survival hopes alive, they must now rely on a miraculous turnaround in goal difference and hope for other results to go their way.

Meanwhile, Birmingham remain in the relegation zone and must secure a victory in their final match against Norwich City to stand a chance of staying up. Huddersfield relegation comes after a tumultuous season with three managerial changes, ultimately leading to their drop to League One. Birmingham season has been similarly chaotic with changes in ownership and management failing to lift them out of the relegation battle.

Despite the disappointment, both teams fought hard in a tense draw but the result did little to change their precarious positions.
