Key Events

  • Pompey return to action after Saturday’s 3-1 defeat to Plymouth
  • Lane, Hackett, Rafferty & Thompson come in.

Pompey should be ahead. The ball finds Hackett on the left and he fires a cross in but Bishop skies it after a first-time effort.

Pompey go up the other end and the ball comes out to Morrell on the edge of the box but his effort is safely saved by MacGillivray.

Thompson dispossessed which sees Walker through on goal but Oluwayemi comes to the rescue again and makes a fantastic save to keep the scores level.
