Pompey couldn’t immediately bounce back from their FA Cup disappointment as they were held by Sheffield Wednesday.

The Owls were playing with a man less for the final 20 minutes, but hung on for a well-earned point.

For the hosts, they may feel it was two points dropped with the man advantage coinciding with a number of missed chances.

As a result, the Blues are three points off the top six as they missed the chance to leapfrog MK Dons who play tomorrow.

Hackett is the first Pompey player to be booked for a foul on the touchline

A smart ball by Hackett is headed down well by Hirst but the ball just evades the onrushing Harness who would have slammed home from close range. Still goalless.

HALF-TIME: Pompey 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

Two minutes of added time

Great save from Peacock-Farrell who dives brilliantly to his left to deny Ronan Curtis’ goalbound curling effort from the edge of the box.

Ollie Palmer should put the visitors ahead as his reactionary header from close range loops over the bar. Huge let-off.

Bannan whips the ball into the box from a corner and Pompey do well to clear for another after a melee in the box. From the resulting, Bazunu catches.

Williams shows composure to turn under pressure and unleash Harness down the wing. But he’s the latest tonight to waste a cross into the box by overpowering

Pompey are very nearly made pay for their missed chances as Shodipo swerves the ball just over the bar from the edge of the box

HIRST. SHOULD. SCORE. The forward breaks clear of the defence and is one-on-one with Peacock-Farrell before his powerful effort lacks in direction as the ‘keeper saves with his feet. Pompey may rue these missed chances.

Brilliant from Hirst and Curtis as the former perfectly flicks the ball behind before the latter harries Shodipo into giving the Blues a corner.
