A Pompey Academy side stepped into a first-team fixture and claimed an impressive draw at Farnborough.
With John Mousinho’s men flying out to Germany on Thursday morning, it was an Academy team which turned out against their National League South opponents.
Kyran Sylvanus opened the scoring for the Blues in the 21st minute, although they should have gone in at the break well ahead, missing a string of other opportunities.
Farnborough levelled in the 65th minute from a thumping header from Mason Bloomfield, while Ethan Bell’s excellent late save ensured Pompey claimed a 1-1 draw.
