Portsmouth 1 (Brown 64’) - Swansea 2 (Galbraith26’, Key 39’)
A classic game of two- halves. All Swansea first-half and they should have scored more. Two spectacular shots for the Swans goals and they were cruising.
The game turned when Swans took off Galbraith and Vipotnik and within a few minutes Pompey had scored. From then on it was one way traffic with Swans defending desperately at times.
However they held out for a much needed away win and a confidence boost for the next match.

How can Portsmouth be so poor (first-half), then so good (second-half).
They had us on the ropes but just couldn’t find that second goal.
That’s their third consecutive home defeat, the first two by the odd goal to the Blades and the Tigers.

Just seen the highlights boys, two great goals, nice to spread them out. Vips had two good chances as well.
Under the cosh at the end there but we bravely hung on for the much needed away win.
Recover ready for Friday and go again for Wrexham, we can do it.
