Birmingham City Swindon Town
D.Peer (57')
HT: 0-2 R.MacLaren (25', 35' pen)
Attendance:  4,026    



 
A thirty yard screamer from Ross MacLaren breaks the deadlock at St Andrews - ten minutes later, he thumps home a penalty to give the Town a 2-0 lead - which is enough to win the game despite Dean Peer reducing the arrears in the second half.
