Half time score is 2-2. What a brilliant comeback by Pompey! If it hadn't been for their keeper, we could/should have been ahead.
Readings goals were well taken but they got a third chance that was harder to miss than score! Nice goals from Pompey and a good comeback but tighter defense requiired in the 2nd half.
