Pompey are back in action as they take on non-league Hereford in the FA Cup.

Danny Cowley’s men make the 194-mile round trip to Edgar Street for the first round of the tournament this evening.

The Blues will be looking to pick up a must-needed victory, with their recent form seeing them win just twice in their last nine games in all competitions.

LIVE: Hereford v Pompey

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.

Koroma is hacked down on the edge of the box and wants this free-kick.

Mclean is also replaced by Caton for the hosts.

Ogilvie is replaced by Denver Hume at left-back.

Pompey want a fourth. Bishop brings the ball down in the box but Hackett can’t quite get a foot to it.

Robertson’s ball in is headed on by Bishop and Pigott is there to flick the ball into the net and Pompey look to have sealed their place in round two.

Bishop found himself one-on-one with Eve but hits his shot straight the keeper and Pompey have a corner.

Pigott’s free-kick is straight at the wall and his rebound isn’t threatening.

Koroma wins a free-kcik around 25-yards out. Hackett and Pigott over it, they’ll have a go from here I reckon.

Late, late challenge on Swanson by Evans and he looks to be going in the book.
