| Match Summary | El Tel's master plan sinks Leeds as Pompey play with wide men and no central striker. 3-2 flatters Leeds, who could have been buried by half-time. Macca is clattered in scoring the opening goal, then reserve spot-kicker Simpson sees Martyn save after Kelly handles. Bowyer levels, but Sven’s classy cut inside and Bradbury’s two-yard open goal, means Pompey conga their way through to the quarter final. |
