Pompey still pressing
Pompey asking the questions through stoppage time and it’s off the line from Whatmough’s header!
Chance for Dale
Dooley finds space to fire from 25 yards and it’s a decent push out from MacGillivray. Pompey dominating but with this scoreline Dale having chances to win it on the counter.
Huge let-off
Harrison makes a mess of a backpass and Done is in and around MacGillivray but dallies slightly with an open goal and Whatmough clears off the line when the shot does come. Huge let-off
What. A. Chance
Johnson with space to cross from the right and Marquis no more than a couple of yards out heads towards goal but Bazunu gets across to tip the downward header over. That has to go in. Simple as that
Subs coming
Rochdale readying a defensive change with McNulty coming on and O’Connell down. Harrison being readied for Pompey. Would have liked to see the striker sooner as he replaces Curtis. Looks like a 4-4-2 for the Blues
Corner quality!
A decent delivery! Curtis puts in the ball and McShane heads it narrowly over his own bar with Raggett there to head in.
Ball’s in the net
Keeper Bazunu drops the ball from a Pompey corner with Marquis in close attendance and the ball’s in the net but the ref gives a foul.
