Portsmouth's Jordan Ngalo reaches play-off final after dramatic Weymouth triumph

Mark Moseley’s side led 2-0 through goals from Josh McQuoid and Jaidon Anthony in Saturday’s National League South encounter with Dorking Wanderers.

However, with 18 minutes remaining, the visitors staged a stunning late comeback to level at 2-2 and put the fixture on course for a penalty shoot-out.

Yet substitute Yemi Odubade netted five minutes into time added on to book Weymouth a place in the play-off final against Dartford.

Pompey fan Ngalo, who attended St Edmund’s Catholic School, has been a key figure during the Terras’ promotion push, making 28 appearances.

The 21-year-old started Saturday’s match, featuring for 60 minutes before being replaced.

Their triumphant side also included former Hawks and Gosport midfielder Andreas Robinson.

The Dorking opposition fielded ex-Hawks pair Jason Prior and Ed Harris, while former Rocks striker Jimmy Muitt was also in their starting line-up.

However, it’s Ngalo and his Weymouth team-mates who have a National League South play-off final at the Bob Lucas Stadium against Dartford on Saturday, August 1.
