An uncharacteristic mistake from Caretr gifts the ball to Afolayan inside the box, who nudges the ball to Morley who shoots miles over the bar.
Slight handbags erupts as Harness is sythed down by Dempsey which sees the winger stay on the ground and Morrell make sure the defender knew he wasn’t happy with the challenge. Dempsey goes into the book.
Afolayan continues to create problems. This time down the right when he finds space and hits a low ball into the path of Bodvarsson, who did well to backheel an effort on goal as he was surrounded by Blue shirts.
And with that it should be 1-0 to Bolton. Afolayan is all alone inside the box and cushions Sadlier’s pull-back towards the bottom corner where Bazunu leaps to his right and makes a superb save. Charles is the quickest to react and drills a low effort wide from an acute angle. Let off for Pompey.
Again Pompey go straight up the other end with Harness, who takes aim by drags his shot wide from the edge of the box. End to end action here so far. Not enough shots on target from both sides though.
