A succession of Pompey corners ends with with Azeez clipping an effort narrowly over from 12 yards.

Lovely play from Jacobs and Harness - with a sharp touch from the latter before his ball across goal is put out for a corner.

Very deep free-kick from Azeez is into the ‘corridor of uncertainty’ and just drifts wide before Raggett can get there at the back post.

Thomson’s free-kick is headed well wide by Thomson

Plent of promise from Pompey but just coming up a little short in the final third so far.

A cross from the left from Hackett and it drops to Romeo whose angled drive is a whisker wide from eight yards.

Great play from Hackett to track back, win the ball and get Jacobs away. It’s a promising break but he produces a poor pass intended for Harness and the home side clear.
