Birmingham City fought back from a goal down to earn a 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Championship this afternoon.
Hugo Rodallega gave the home side the lead inside the first five minutes when he raced on to Lasse Christensen's pass before finishing the chance.
However, Fulham's lead was short lived, and it was David Cotterill who restored parity with a free kick.
Lloyd Dyer almost gave the visitors the lead but his header could only fly just over the bar shortly after the equaliser.
Ross McCormack, who captained the side in the absence of Scott Parker, went close with a header from Kostas Stafylidis but Darren Randolph was alert to save.
McCormack almost matched Cotterill with a free kick of his own on the half-hour mark, but his 35-yard effort went just wide.
Clayton Donaldson then spurned a great opportunity up the other end after going through one-v-one with Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli.
Seko Fofana almost regained the lead for Fulham with a fierce effort from 25 yards that flew narrowly wide 11 minutes into the second period.
Kacaniklic was next to try his luck for Kit Symons's side, but the Swede's left-footed effort went wide before Fofana's curling strike from range also narrowly missed.
