FROM THE PRESS BOX
SHORT REPORT FROM THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS FOOTBALL PINK FINAL 22ND OCTOBER 1988
Manchester City just could not turn possession into goals against crisis club Birmingham at Maine Road today.
The Blues dominated most of the game against the club near the bottom of the Second Division, but hardly produced a clear cut chance in a 0-0 draw.
Sub Ian Brightwell came closest to breaking the deadlock but fired his shot inches over the bar eight minutes from time.
