Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Portsmouth FC launch into their encounter with Bristol City FC.
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 8' It’s a booking for Bristol City FC player. Rob Dickie gets a card.

  • 20' What a strike from Colby Bishop! The score is 1-0.
  • 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
