Key Events

66 - Goal for Plymouth

Camara pinches the ball back and drives into the box before squaring to Hardie who slams home

Another chance for the hosts. An inviting ball from the left is met by Hardie who swings a foot at it before Bazunu greatfully gathers

OFF: Hume

ON: Robertson

Likely now Ogilvie will slot in at left-wing-back now.

Pompey well and truly under the cosh. A succession of shots come flying at Bazunu but a combination of saves and blocks (especially by Romeo) keeps the visitors at bay

Ogilvie whipps a great ball to the near-post where Hirst is unable to sweep the ball into the net as it rolls off his studs.

Pompey very sloppy this half as Plymouth probe again. This time the ball whipped into the box is acrobatically caught by Bazunu.

So close by George Hirst as he catches Cooper dawdling on the ball and nips it off him before their legs get tangled and the striker goes down. Referee waves away penalty protests. Right call.
