Birmingham 1 - 1 Brentford
Birmingham win 4-3 on penalties
Brentford bowed out of the Carling Cup after Premier League Birmingham beat the brave League One side on penalties.
Craig Woodman had his crucial spot-kick saved by Maik Taylor after Kevin Phillips had spared Blues from defeat with a strike deep into stoppage time.
Sam Wood had given Brentford the lead with a brilliant volley and they also went close through Myles Weston.
Nikola Zigic should have scored the winner for Blues in stoppage time but his header was saved by Richard Lee.
During the 30 minutes of extra time, Brentford were hanging on as fatigue set in and a penalty shoot-out, which saw off Everton in the previous round, seemed like the visitors' only path to progression.

606: DEBATE
|
During the climax, Birmingham held a 3-2 lead before the Bees' Mickey Spillane missed from the spot.
But the home side's advantage was wiped away immediately when Lee Bowyer fired his effort over the bar.
After the next two penalties were scored, the pressure was on Woodman. A miss would result in defeat and unfortunately for the Tiverton-born defender he rolled his effort straight at goalkeeper Taylor.
It was the second heartbreaking moment for the Londoners, who were set for a Carling Cup quarter-final berth up until the second of four minutes of stoppage time when Liam Ridgewell teed up Phillips to finish with an effort that rolled under keeper Lee.
After a non-descript first-half that saw the Bees produce the best effort, a Weston shot pushed away by Taylor, the game sprung to life.
First, Spillane stung the palms of Taylor with an angled shot before Brentford finally made the breakthrough when Weston fed Charlie MacDonald, whose layoff was buried by former Bromley player Wood.
Birmingham pressed forward in desperation and must have thought their final chance to save their campaign came and went when Craig Gardner's powerful effort was saved by Lee.
But Phillips and then luck from the spot ensured Blues a place in the last eight.
Birmingham boss Alex McLeish:
"Brentford were superb, well organised and battled. I thought we were out the cup.
"But, when you have the hunger and desire to keep going right to the end, I have to salute the players.
"We put together three or four passes together for the first time for the goal. We lacked creativity and imagination before that.
"That made it look like we wouldn't score but Kevin did what he does best, we're in the hat and that's what counts."
Brentford boss Andy Scott:
"I think Brentford as a club hasn't had the recognition it deserved over the last few years.
"We have a strong club, I am a young manager, we have players we have brought out of non league.
"We've proved we have a strong club with a good fan base, good enough to bring 3,000 supporters here tonight.
"We didn't get anybody in the team of the year when we won League Two by six points and I didn't get manager of the year.
"That doesn't matter. What matters is we have a good club."
