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...

5. Connor Ogilvie - 7
(Replaced by Jack Sparkes on 46 mins) Little was asked defensively, so largely occupied his time charging down the left flank and willing to back up Pompey attacks. A gentle introduction to friendlies, which was ideal. Photo: Jason Brown

6. Marlon Pack - 8
(Replaced by Tom Lowery on 46 mins) Looked like he had never been away for the summer. Drove Pompey’s game, spread the ball around and dictated their play and tempo. A couple of cracking tackles too. Photo: Gary Oakley

7. Ben Stevenson - 7
(Replaced by Owen Moxon on 46 mins) His first outing since injury in January and, as ever, looked composed and played with the minimum of fuss. Kept things ticking over with sensible use of the ball. Photo: Jason Brown

8. Anthony Scully - 6
(Replaced by Paddy Lane on 46 mins) Buzzed around and tried to make things happen, but nothing quite came off for the fit-again winger. Still, after last season's injury problems it was a welcome return to involvement - and there's still more to come. Photo: Jason Brown
