18' Lovely skill from Dasilva! He shimmies past his man before sending in a cross, but McGee punches it away. #cafc

Don’t make me angry McGee, you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.

Yeah keep up the good work Ross, there’s more not there than there

Crowd looks disappointing considering the significance of today's game. Probably not many more than at The three-sided-Valley 25 years ago.

Charlton seeing more of the ball, but a few groans from the home fans when passes go astray (26 mins) #pompey

Oggy Red

Stats so far:

Charlton 58%
Pompey 42%

Not a single shot from either side.

But 3 corners each.

Save from Amos.

29' Evans with a vicious strike from 20 yards for Pompey. Amos palms it over for a corner... #cafc

ross1

Good work from Pitman to lay the ball off for Evans and his fierce left-footed drive has to be tipped over by Amos (29 mins) #pompey

ross1

#Pompey have another chance when the resulting corner is only partially cleared and O'Keefe's effort loops narrowly over (30 mins)

ross1

30' Cleared as far as O'Keefe who sends an effort dipping over the bar. #cafc

Pitman tries an inventive backwards header, bit it's a comfortable save for Amos (32 mins) #pompey

33' Evans fires an effort well wide from just outside the box. Portsmouth enjoying a good spell. #cafc

1 up front is not working again. Midfield is not doing anything and wingers are ineffective.

I Remember Walsh, Webster, Pitcher, Nelson, Minto and Bolder, but Hitler??

Shot from Holmes tipped over. At last some action.

ross1

35' CLOSE! Dasilva tees up Holmes on the edge of the box. His goalbound shot is tipped over for a corner.. #cafc

ross1

35' ...corner comes to nothing. #cafc

ross1

A quick break for Charlton and Dasilva feeds Holmes, whose shot from the edge of the box is pushed over by McGee (35 mins) #pompey

1StevieG

Magennis almost a liability for losing the ball in their area and Pompey counter nearly score.

ross1

36' Fantastic block by Solly to deny Chaplin in the box. Amos saves O'Keefe's follow-up. Corner... #cafc
