Hamza Abdelkarim's brace rescued a 2-2 draw for Barcelona against Birmingham City in a club friendly, as the forward's two strikes cancelled out August Priske's opener and Jhon Solis's late leveller, leaving the Catalans without a win to carry into their next scheduled outing. The match was a scrappy affair that saw Christoph Klarer booked inside eighteen minutes before Abdelkarim went into the book just before the break, with Birmingham's early lead through Priske's 31st-minute finish, assisted by Alex Cochrane, quickly wiped out by Abdelkarim's equaliser six minutes before half-time.
