SO CLOSE FOR TWO! Carter plays a neat one-two with Hirst before he shanks his shot into a Bolton defender but the ball breaks for Jacobs who looks for all the world to score before George Johnstone produces a sensational block to deny him. Fantastic defending.
End-to-end action again here as Bodvarsson goes down inside the box to which the home fan thought was a stonewall penalty. The referee was unmoved as Pompey break down the pitch which allows Hirst to force a save from Trafford.
The home fans erupt with rage as the referee pulls back a foul on Harness as the hosts were making strides into the box. Bolton look shell-shocked by O’Brien’s opener.
GGGGGGGOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL
Aiden O’Brien turns home Harness’ cross after he jinked past his man on the wing and delivered an inch-perfect cut back before the ex-Sunderland man fired into the net. 1-0 Pompey!
Once again, Bolton immediately go on the offensive with Sadlier who skips a challenge and makes his way down the wing. As has been a consistent theme throughout though, the final ball let him down.
Another neat pass from Pompey finds O’Brien in space in the final third and his backheel eventually finds Jacobs who is then thwarted as he attempts to make his way into the box,
