Millwall claimed a point at Birmingham City in the lunchtime kick-off at St Andrews.

4′ Jay Stansfield’s header is blocked before Junior Bacuna fired an effort over the bar.
6′ GOAL FOR MILLWALL! Kevin Nisbet fires the visitors in front. Free-kick from just outside the box in a central position. John Ruddy will not want to see that again.
11′ Anderson finds Stansfield his shot is blocked but just moments later he gets another chance from a Sunjic cross and his header is wide of the post.
14′ Stansfield and Bacuna combine with the latter firing an effort over the bar. Just a minute later Bacuna again finds himself with a chance but it’s a tame effort straight at Sarkic.
20′ GOAL DISALLOWED! Millwall think they have made it 2-0 thanks to a beautiful goal from Ryan Leonard but his shot takes a nick of Jake Cooper on it’s way into the net but he was in an offside position and the goal has been disallowed.
26′ Wallace finds Nisbet in the box, the Scot turns and shoots but see’s his shot blocked the Birmingham defence.
32′ Lions forced into a change as Hutchinson is injured, he is replaced by Wes Harding.
42′ Bacuna’s effort is blocked for Sunjic sends an effort over the bar
45+4′ Penalty to Birmingham! Sarkic fouls Hogan. The latter steps up to take the kick but it’s saved really well by Sarkic.
