Cesar Peixoto will be relieved. He'll be chuffed with the way they defended because his side were spent and a big save at the end from Jose Sa.
It was a game of two halved because Wolves should have taken the game away from Blues in the first half and then Blues were excellent in the second half.

A great game of football for the fifth game of the season. Both teams going at it like that. We worried after that blockbuster first half, seeing four goals, was the first half going to dull down a bit?
It was a little bit calmer but it was still good action, both teams we saw going close at the end.
Chances for both teams to win it but I think a draw is a fair result.

All the goals came in the first half and Wolves had to do a lot of defending to hold on for a point in the end.
Birmingham City remain unbeaten in the Championship so far this season, albeit with four draws from five now.
Wolves' two-game winning streak against Blues in this fixture is ended.

I take it all back about Jose Sa.
What a save in the final seconds!
Birmingham 2-2 Wolves
Marvin Ducksch bends it up and over the wall for Blues but Jose Sa dives at full stretch to his right to make an excellent save!

Birmingham win a late free-kick right on the edge of the box. Can they?

This game has been pulsating.
You still feel like there's something left in this game. A big chance.

Demarai Gray cannot continue for Birmingham and Ethan Laird comes on in his place for the last few minutes.

Just three minutes added on but we will play past the 93rd minute with this break in play.
Birmingham 2-2 Wolves
Demarai Gray is down on the turf for Blues and looks in a spot of bother.
A break in play after a frantic couple of minutes.

This game has been bonkers, absolutely nuts.
It's a tap in. What is Neumann doing playing as a centre-forward?
Birmingham 2-2 Wolves
Exciting now as Wolves try to push for a winner as well. Birmingham City break forward with Phil Neumann of all people down the right but his pullback is behind Luis Vazquez.

Are we in for a dramatic finale fitting of the first half we saw?

And that is Adam Armstrong's last action of the game for Wolves.
He's hooked for Sean Neave.

Game over there.
If there's anyone you'd want in that position it's Adam Armstrong.
Birmingham 2-2 Wolves
Wolves with a HUGE chance for the smash and grab win.
Fer Lopez battles for a long ball forward and lays it off for Adam Armstrong who has the goal at his mercy.
But Armstrong fires a long way over the bar. That should've been the winner.
Birmingham 2-2 Wolves
Long throw into the Wolves box for Blues but once again the visitors clear.
Wolves have done an awful lot of defending in this second half. So far, they've stood firm.

We're at that stage in the game now where if you're Blues your thinking this game is there for the taking.
If you're Wolves, you're probably thinking about taking a point.
Birmingham 2-2 Wolves
Oh, Jackson Tchatchoua. He will want this game to end.
He spins in behind on the right and has space to attack once more for Wolves.
But he runs it out of play...
Wolves' third-minute goal set the tone for a St Andrew's Sunday lunchtime thriller
Birmingham City twice came from behind to earn a West Midlands derby draw with Wolves at St Andrew's - thanks to a comic Jackson Tchatchoua own goal.
All four goals came before the break as Fer Lopez poked Wolves ahead from close range before Jay Stansfield hammered a first Blues equaliser, Ladislav Krejci's header restored Wolves' lead and then came the game's main talking point.
Tchatchoua miscommunicated with Jose Sa and his backpass floated past his own keeper into the net. And, despite an awful lot more second-half drama, there were astonishingly no further goals.
All enough to put a smile back on the face of Blues' American chairman Tom Wagner, who was back at St Andrew's for the first time in seven months following the stroke he suffered in February.

This will be the first season in which Birmingham City and Wolverhampton Wanderers will face in the league since 2017-18, when Wolves completed a Championship double over their rivals.
Wolves are looking to win three successive league games against Birmingham City for the first time since December 1999. They have also won their last three league visits to St. Andrew’s.
Birmingham are unbeaten in nine league games (W4 D5), their longest run in the Championship since February 2020 (10).
Wolves have won just one of their last 23 away league outings (D6 L16), losing 4-2 at West Ham last time out.
Wolves’ José Sá is without a clean sheet in any of his last nine league starts – he is one of two goalkeepers to concede over two goals more than expected according to Opta’s expected goals on target model (2.1) in the Championship this season alongside Burnley’s Max Weiß (3.4).
