Wow Pompey have got away with one there. A throw from the fast side goes through everyone in the box and find Powell at the far post. He’s denied by a fantastic save from Oluwayemi from six-yards out. He’s got plenty of pats on the back from his team-mates for that stop.

Good play from Bishop sees the ball fall to the edge of the box for Ogilvie. He hits a left-footed shot from the edge of the box but MacGillivray comfortably claims.
