| Match Summary | Nerves are effecting Pompey's final push for promotion after picking up just one point from the previous four games. Despite the pouring rain over 20,000 flock to the park expecting their team to pick up the two points needed to clinch a place back in Division Two against high scoring Posh. After a bright start McNamee scores with a deflected shot and from then the result was inevitable with the crowd streaming for the exits long before the end. Posh passed 100 goals for the season and Pompey had to wait until Easter Monday to clinch the two points needed. |
