Pompey 1-0 Harrow Borough - LIVE

Key Events

  • Pompey boss names a full strength side
  • Miguel Azeez gains second start for the club
  • Cowley said he had just 16 fit senior players in build up to game
  • Pompey unbeaten in past three games

Pompey can’t make the most of said corner and are immediately hit by a counter attack that allowed Moore to fire just wide from the edge of the box. That’s all it will take to change proceedings if the Blues don’t put this game to bed

Curtis attempts a ‘knuckleball’ free-kick but his effort hits the wall and goes wide for a corner

With a narrow lead things could still change at Fratton Park and they almost did as James Mansfield almost equalised but couldn’t reach far enough to get serious contact on the ball at the back post

Miguel Azeez only gets an hour on the field as he’s replaced by Gassan Ahadme. The Arsenal loanee may feel slightly disappointed with his personal performance this afternoon after failing to stamp his authority on proceedings.

ON: Gassan Ahadme

OFF: Miguel Azeez

Pompey still dominant and patient as expected but will need to find the net again soon if Cowley is to hand an opportunity to his academy players...

John Marquis hacks an effort goalwards and the rebound falls to Romeo who fizzes a ball towards Strizovic who initially spilled his effort but recovered well to prevent the ball crossing the line

Harness does well to drive into the box and unleash a low shot that kissed the post before Harrow could clear the danger
