Blackpool currently lead Birmingham City 1-0 at half time in the second leg of their Championship playoff semi-final at St Andrews.
Blackpool's Tom Ince looked to be the most dangerous player in the opening exchanges, but the Blackpool forward's first effort on goal was saved by Colin Doyle.
Ince was claiming for a penalty soon after when he believed that he was fouled in the box, but referee Chris Foy waved away the appeals.
As the hosts edged their way back into the match, Chris Burke saw his curled shot go narrowly wide of the post.
Birmingham's best chance of the opening 45 minutes came from Marlon King as the striker's back-post drive came back off the woodwork.
Blackpool took the lead at the end of the half when Stephen Dobbie was on hand to fire in.
