Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Fratton Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Jamaal Lascelles has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 53 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 8' Adrian Segecic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Keshi Anderson on 8 minute.
- 13' 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.
- 17' Another change for Portsmouth FC made on 17 minute. Terry Devlin leaves to be changed by Ibane Bowat.
- 22' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leicester City FC that had 354 games and scored 510 goals.
- 27' Portsmouth FC is showing some good football. However, Portsmouth FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 32' Leicester City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 37' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
- 42' Portsmouth FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Ibane Bowat scoring 1 goals.
- 47' 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 Bobby Reid suffering a number of foals already.
- 52' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 57' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Divine Mukasa made 354 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 62' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 63' Ibane Bowat puts Portsmouth FC on the lead.
- 68' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 70' Jordan James has so much to prove this time. He replaces Hamza Choudhury on 70 minute.
- 71' Another substitution for Leicester City FC to replace Stephy Mavididi by Divine Mukasa on 71 minute.
