"The hosts' dominance was rewarded in the 26th minute when Aaron Ramsey acrobatically turned Abdul Fatawu's cross into the box beyond the grasp of Josef Bursik. Portsmouth responded brightly, though, as Yang Min-Hyeok's fierce volley rattled the crossbar, before Ramsey forced Bursik into a smart stop moments later at the other end."
"However, Marti Cifuentes' side were unable to add to their lead before half-time, and a slow start after the break allowed Portsmouth back into the contest just before the hour. Julian Carranza cheaply lost possession, which saw a lightning counter-attack finished off by John Swift, whose left-footed strike beat Jakub Stolarczyk at his near post."
