The young Blues were heading out of the Hampshire Senior Cup at 3-0 down to a comfortable Gosport side who were yet to lose in any match so far this season.
However, against all the odds, Sam Hudson’s kids sprung a stunning fightback, with Koby Mottoh (two) and substitute Connor May netting to make it 3-3.
Mottoh then registered the winning penalty during the shoot-out to cap an incredible scoreline – and here are our Pompey player ratings...
1. Will Norris - 7
(Replaced by Jordan Archer on 46 mins) Had absolutely nothing to do, not called upon to deal with a single shot. Also rarely involved in distribution, with the majority of the opening 45 minutes taking place in Gosport’s half. Photo: Jason Brown
2. Jordan Williams - 7
(Replaced by Terry Devlin on 46 mins) Regularly provided some driving runs down the right and could have had a couple of assists had Triallist B taken his chances. Always an attacking outlet and encouraging first outing for the Blues. Photo: Portsmouth FC
3. Triallist A (Jamal Baptiste) - 6
(Replaced by Conor Shaughnessy on 46 mins) Struggled with his distribution on a few occasions, with one early pass nowhere near the intended target. Played as the right-sided centre-half and defensively was sound enough. Photo: Jason Brown
4. Ryley Towler - 7
(Replaced by Tom McIntyre on 46 mins) Occupied his usual position as the left-sided centre-half and was very comfortable. Gosport struggled to threaten during the opening half and, as a result, Towler was rarely tested. Photo: Jason Brown
