| Match Summary |
The tuning point comes when Ormondroyd, six yards out, steers past Symons on the line, but he should be flagged as keeper Knight is stranded on the penalty spot. Macca had just thumped Pompey deservedly in front. Kristensen’s spectacular shot is too late, despite a frantic finish. Pompey's first excursion into the play-offs ends in heartache. |
