LIVE: Bournemouth v Pompey
Key Events
- Pompey eye place in Hampshire Cup semi-final.
- Seven first-team names start.
- John Mousinho set to name strong side.
Pompey close to another as Payce fends off a number of challenges to square the ball. Pigott can’t quite get there and Bournemouth clear.
Pompey almost get a goal back before half-time. Hume breaks in to the box from the left and cuts in on his right but skies the ball from around six-yards out.
I thought Pompey would be in control of this contest when they were leading 2-0. That feels a long time ago and a number of defensive erros have cost the Blues so far.
I can’t even update the headline in time!! Pompey sloppy at the back yet again which allows Brooks through on the right and he is able to put it past Oluwayemi in goal.
Two goals down and now the Cherries lead. Robertson gives the ball away with the ball finding Brooks on the right. He cuts in on his left and his deflected shot is just beyond Oluwayemi’s reach.
The Cherries break away from the corner and Adu-Adjei makes a powerful run into the box and slots past Oluwayemi to level the tie.
