Championship - Friendlies: Wins for Midlands pair

Eurosport - Sun, 20 Jul 23:36:00 2008

Birmingham's impressive pre-season form is showing no signs of relenting following a 2-1 success over Nurnberg in Austria.

James McFadden - 0

Alex McLeish's side led the contest just 11 seconds after kick-off when Garry O'Connor nodded home James McFadden's cross.

The Bundesliga outfit levelled on the quarter-hour mark when Peter Perchtold lashed an arrowing shot across Maik Taylor.

However, the Blues were not to be denied and regained the lead within a minute when McFadden converted Sebastian Larsson's cross.

Wolves kicked-off their pre-season tour of Scotland on a winning note thanks to a late 1-0 success at Dundee.

The game looked destined to finish scoreless until Michael Kightly picked out Sylvain Ebanks-Blake in the closing stages, and the striker proceeded to lash home from 12-yards out.
