Here’s how Danny Cowley’s players fared in the sunshine at Priestfield over the opening period.
5. Connor Ogilvie - 6
More of the same from Ogilvie in left-back position, which he looks to have nailed on for the opening day at present. A couple of powerful tackles in a sturdy effort. Photo: Jason Brown
6. Marlon Pack - 7
Maintained the impressive standards he's set in pre-season so far. Didn't give the ball away once, used it intelligently and cajoled and organised his team-mates. Photo: Portsmouth FC
7. Louis Thompson - 6
Some crunching tackles and efficient use of the ball from the midfielder. Read the game well, sensed danger and snuffed it out where necessary. Photo: Jason Brown
8. Michael Jacobs - 7
Brilliant use of the ball as Jacobs caused plenty of problems off the left flank. A number of defence-splitting passes - including the assist for Hackett's opener. Photo: Jason Brown
