On Schuster's Debut: Brentford Secure Clear Victory in Austrian Duel
Birmingham City, featuring captain Christoph Klarer, is overwhelmed by the Premier League club.
Jannik Schuster had a successful competitive debut for FC Brentford.
In the first round of the EFL Cup, the "Bees" won 6-1 away against second-division side Birmingham City. Schuster even started for Brentford. The hosts also had an Austrian international, captain Christoph Klarer, in their starting eleven.
Wilson gave Brentford the lead as early as the 6th minute. Although Gray (28.) equalized, Hickey (35.) and Collins (40.) ensured a clear advantage for the visitors at halftime.
After the break, the scoreline became emphatically clear: Damsgaard (70.), Thiago (73.), and Collins (77.) sealed the 6-1 final score for Brentford. Schuster played the full match, received a yellow card in the first half, and won over 60 percent of his duels.
