Great stop Bazunu to keep out May’s drive from inside the box. Then Romeo produces a superb block to deny Brophy from the follow up.
Temperatures rise
Argie bargie between Williams and Harness. Both sides get involved with Cambridge skipper Digby dragging Harness away in a head lock. Ref has no more than a word but books Smith who gives him a mouthful. Livened things up, if nothing else!
Ragget and Ironside grapple with the Cambridge man going to ground. Home fans angry with Raggett the last man but ref says nothing doing.
Reeco gifts the ball to the home side on the edge of the box, cross comes in and then lands with Williams whose angled drive is held by Bazunu.
Big build-up corner disappoints
Pompey try a different routine for a corner as they line up on the right apex of the box in numbers and then charge towards goal as the corner goes short but Harness’ delivery is blocked. Elaborate routine comes to nothing!
