Ghana international Ibrahim Osman enjoyed a landmark moment in his young career on Saturday, scoring his first goal for Birmingham City to inspire a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Leicester City in the English Championship.

The 21-year-old winger, who joined the Blues on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion during the winter transfer window, was handed a starting role and delivered a tireless, all-action performance at St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park.

Birmingham City made a lightning start, with Osman opening the scoring just three minutes into the contest, confidently firing home to give the hosts early control of a fiercely contested encounter.

Leicester City responded midway through the first half when fellow Ghanaian Fatawu Issahaku struck in the 21st minute, restoring parity and ensuring the teams went into the break level.

However, Birmingham showed greater resolve after the interval. Their dominance paid off in the 67th minute when Jay Stansfield converted after being teed up by Marvin Ducksch, sealing a crucial home win.

Osman has now registered one goal in his first three appearances for Birmingham City, who remain firmly in the promotion hunt. After 31 matches, the Blues sit 10th on the table with 45 points.

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup drawing closer, the exciting winger will be eager to build momentum during his loan spell as he pushes for a place in Ghana’s Black Stars squad ahead of the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
