portsmouth vs oxford united

"I had asked a few people in the game who have been in big penalty shootouts for their advice, and they passed that on, and through our sports psychologist too who was telling the players to be composed and just believe in themselves. Anthony Forde (Oxford United) converts the penalty with a right footed shot to the bottom left corner.Goal! Oxford United 1(1), Portsmouth 1(2). "And when training starts again we've got to make sure there is no hangover from this. While it was an alien scene at a near empty Fratton Park - made all the more eerie by blustery winds whistling around deserted stands - the high-stakes tie behind closed doors was just another strange snapshot of football being played during a pandemic.Despite the 16-week break and bizarre circumstances on their return, Pompey started brightly with Ronan Curtis hitting the post early on before he put them ahead just after the half-hour mark.Browne levelled in fine style before the break, but it took a diving save from Simon Eastwood from a Christian Burgess effort to ensure Oxford head into Monday's second leg at the Kassam Stadium on level terms.Portsmouth finished the game protesting a late decision by referee Gavin Ward not to award an injury-time penalty when Curtis went to ground after he got in a tangle with the legs of Daniel Agyei.It was one of a number of unsuccessful penalty appeals by the home side in a tie that is finely poised as the teams try to reach Wembley to face either Wycombe Wanderers or Fleetwood Town.More than two weeks after the Premier League became the first competition to restart after the pandemic-enforced break, Pompey and Oxford started on their quest to complete their curtailed campaign with promotion to the Championship.After nearly four months since their last competitive fixture, Portsmouth were quickest to settle and dominated early possession.Curtis, who hit the base of the post with a shot from the edge of the area after just seven minutes, gave Pompey a deserved lead with a effort from the left that crept inside Eastwood's near post.The goal came just moments after the hosts had appeals for a penalty waved away when Oxford's Rob Dickie - who also appeared to handle an earlier goal-bound effort - tussled with Burgess. "Attempt blocked. Oxford United beat Portsmouth 5-4 on penalties to reach the League One play-off final as Cameron Brannagan's decisive spot-kick sent them to Wembley after a tense 2-2 draw on aggregate.Oxford keeper Simon Eastwood saved from Cameron McGeehan to keep out Pompey's fourth penalty, with what was the only miss of the shootout, as the hosts netted five from five to stay in the promotion race.The two sides could not be separated after 210 minutes of their hard-fought semi-final, drawing 1-1 at the Kassam Stadium to keep the tie level on aggregate and ensure it had to be decided with spot kicks.Marcus Harness had put Kenny Jackett's men in front in with a good touch and low finish to complete a swift, route-one move but Ellis Harrison's own-goal deep in first-half stoppage time saw Oxford pull level.Both sides had key chances to win the tie before the shootout but Eastwood and Brannagan became the heroes for Karl Robinson's men, who were jubilant at the end.They go onto the final at Wembley on 13 July where they will face Wycombe, who Victory kept alive Oxford's hopes of returning to the second tier for the first time since 1999, while Pompey's narrow defeat ensured they will face a ninth consecutive season playing below the Championship.Monday's late drama saw the Hampshire club exit the play-offs at the semi-final stage for a second straight year, after their defeat by Sunderland over two legs in 2019.Oxford and Pompey had been level on points in the table before the coronavirus pandemic saw football suspended in March, both sitting just two points off an automatic promotion place, and they were placed fourth and fifth respectively when the division was curtailed using an average points-per-game system.And, just as they had been mathematically in the table, the two teams were extremely evenly matched across their two-legged semi-final.That changed at long last when Eastwood kept out McGeehan's spot-kick, which was struck to his right but at a nice height for the former Portsmouth goalkeeper, against his old side.The match very nearly did not go beyond the normal 90 minutes, but Oxford's Robert Dickie headed narrowly off target in the final few seconds of second-half stoppage time, from James Henry's cross.Pompey's John Marquis - who had hit the post in normal time - then nodded just wide in the second half of extra time, after United's Matty Taylor had seen a close-range shot bravely blocked by James Bolton in the first 15 additional minutes.The hosts' Alex Gorrin was a little fortunate not to be sent off during the extra 30 minutes, receiving a yellow card for a rash-looking challenge, with his boot off the ground as he slid in on Andrew Cannon.Earlier, the visitors had applied slightly more pressure on goal in the first half and led brilliantly on 38 minutes when Harrison expertly flicked on goalkeeper Alex Bass' long punt forward into Harness' path, the winger clinically netting his ninth goal of the campaign.But Jackett's side's first-half endeavours were undone when Harrison inadvertently headed in to his own net from a corner on the stroke of half-time, getting in Bass' way amid what appeared to be a communication breakdown in the six-yard box.That defensive lapse proved costly, in a tactical tie ultimately decide by the slimmest of margins.
