Pompey came from behind to secure a 1-1 draw at Bristol Rovers in their latest friendly.
John Mousinho’s men found themselves trialling on 57 minutes following Fabrizio Cavegn’s low strike from the edge of the box which beat Ben Killip.
However, the Blues were indebted to a surprise triallist for the leveller, whose switch from left-back to left wing brought a save out of Rovers’ keeper.
Fellow substitute Brandon Downey followed up to divert the loose ball into the next for a 77th minute equaliser against the League Two side.
