Key Events

  • Pompey take on Hereford in the first round of the FA Cup.
  • Hackett makes up for earlier mistake and levels for Blues.
  • Danny Cowley makes two changes with Hackett and Curtis returning.

But it doesn’t matter as Pompey edge into the second round after a 3-1 win over Hereford.

Well that free-kick was nothing special.

Hume is fouled by Pendley on the left-hand side.

It wouldn’t be an FA Cup game without phone lights in the home end.

Hodgkiss is replaced by Derricott in added time.

Pigott’s cross is deflected and Pompey have a corner.

Four minutes added on at the end.

Barnett fires a shot from 20-yards out but it takes a deflection off Robertson and Griffiths claims.

Much-needed goal for Pigott, who looks to have won it for Pompey.

Safe hands by Eve. Koroma goes to his right and the Bulls’ stopper claims well.
