Time:90'- Portsmouth
- Crystal Palace
90' Full time at Portsmouth, they beat Crystal Palace 2-1 and live to fight another day. Achieving safety still a huge ask though.
88' Portsmouth hanging on by the skin of their teeth. Palace think they've equalised throguh McCarthy but the goal has been ruled out for a foul on Pompey 'keeper Ashdown.- 82' Portsmouth are hanging on by the skin of their teeth at home to Crystal Palace. They're 2-1 up, but the Eagles have come close.
71' GOAL! Crystal Palace have pulled a goal back at Portsmouth. Varney brings down Zaha and Ambrose tucks the spot kick away.- 55' GOAL! It's gone to Portsmouth at Fratton Park, and they've doubled their advantage over Crystal Palace through a header from Halford, leaving Speroni stranded. Real hope for Pompey now.
- 32' GOAL! Portsmouth have scored at Fratton Park! It's a lucky goal from Allan, a fierce deflection, but the Pompey fans won't care one jolt. As things stand, Pompey survive another day.
27' Varney hits the post for Portsmouth! It's against the run of play, but the midfielder hits a fierce shot that comes off the upright. A Pompey win could keep them fighting another day.- 19:20 PORTSMOUTH: Ashdown, Ward, Rocha, Pearce, Rekik, Allan, Halford, Norris, Maguire, Kitson, Varney.
