Birmingham 1, Everton 1 / Wed 22nd Oct 2003. / @ Solihull Borough/ Atten: / Kick-Off: 7.00pm EVERTON: Wright, B Moogan, Unsworth, Clarke, Gerrard, Nyarko, Alexandersson, Schumacher, Pascucci, Li Tie, A Moogan. BENCH:Turner, Barry, Hughes, Wilson, Lynch. (Non Used) GOALSCORERS: Nyarko (55mins) Alex Nyarko 30 yard rocket, earned Andy Holden's second string a 1-1 draw, down in the Midlands.The rezzys who had a mixture of youth and experience were unlucky only to come away with a point.Brian Moogan was extremely unfortunate not to give The Blues a first half lead, when he ran at the Birmingham defence and unleashed a right foot shot that agonisingly went the wrong side of Nico Vaesens post.Li Tie also went close, but found himself in the referees notebook for diving.In a scrappy game Clarke looking assured as ever, and young Gerrard also fell foul of the man in black.Dickie Wright made his first start for over a month, and looked confident when denying a Clinton Morrison shot from resting in the back of the net.Minutes later Kirosvski's header was tipped wide, and on this form it won't be long till he is pushing Martyn to reclaim his first team berth. Half Time: Birmingham 0, Everton 0. The second half could not have got off to a worse start, when a diving header from the impressive Figueroa, flew past the helpless Wright.Everton rallied well though, and within two minutes Nyarko's piledriver from all of thirty yards had drawn them level.The Blues piled forward and can count themselves desperately unlucky not to have snatched maximum points, as Vaesen pulled of breath taking stops from Li Tie, and an energetic Pascucci.Wright was also called into action to make an excellent stop from that man Figueroa again, as the second half livened up the spectators.A draw it was then, one that will be remembered by the thousand or so spectators by an amazing Nyarko strike. Full Time: Birmingham 1, Everton 1 Team News Dickie Wright returns to action this evening, after a long injury lay off.Alexandersson should be involved at some stage since returning from the Hammers after turning down an extension to his loan deal. Everton from: Wright, B Moogan, Unsworth, Clarke, Nyarko, Barry, Li Tie, Schumacher, Pascucci, Alexandersson, Gallagher, A Moogan, Lynch, Gerrard, Hughes, Fox, Turner, Wilson.
