Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Charlton Athletic FC gets underway.
- 4' The referee calls foul for Lloyd Jones. He receives a card.
- 7' That looks like a foul for a card for Harry Clarke.
- 12' It looks like no one’s ball. Portsmouth FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 14' The referee calls foul for Luke Chambers. He receives a card.
- 19' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Portsmouth FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 27' It’s a booking for Charlton Athletic FC player. Miles Leaburn gets a card.
- 31' Marlon Pack is having his name booked by the referee on 31.

- 35' Goal! Colby Bishop scores his 92 goal in 5 matches.
- 38' The referee calls foul for Lloyd Jones. He receives a card.

- 46' Charlton Athletic FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jayden Fevrier is hanging Harry Clarke on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
- 54' Conor Coventry is having his name booked by the referee on 54.
- 56' GOAL! Terry Devlin scores on 56.
- 61' The travelling Portsmouth FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 63' It is a substitution in Portsmouth FC team. Zak Swanson is replaced by Jordan Williams on 63 minute.
- 64' Goal! Jayden Fevrier scores his 5 goal in 7 matches.
- 69' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Charlton Athletic FC that had 378 games and scored 485 goals.

- 81' Another change for Charlton Athletic FC made on 81 minute. Greg Docherty leaves to be changed by Luke Berry.
- 86' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Marlon Pack suffering a number of foals already.
- 87' Ebou Adams is having his name booked by the referee on 87.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-3.
