Shrewsbury Town 1-2 Portsmouth

  • Published

Ten-man Portsmouth climbed into the League One play-off places with a gutsy victory at Shrewsbury.

Marcus Harness and John Marquis, who was later sent off, put Pompey 2-0 up before Nathaniel Ogbeta netted in the second half for the hosts.

Aside from an early Daniel Udoh chance the first half was dominated by the visitors.

Ryan Williams went close with a header before a superb curling Harness effort broke the deadlock midway through the half.

Ten minutes later it was two when Marquis tapped into an empty net, with Danny Cowley's side looking in complete control.

But six minutes after the restart Shrewsbury were back in the game when Ogbeta took on three players before firing the ball home past keeper Craig MacGillivray.

Pompey were reduced to 10 men 22 minutes from time, when Marquis received a straight red card for a heavy tackle on Harry Chapman.

But Shrewsbury failed to capitalise on their man advantage as Pompey kept them at arms length to make it two wins from two under new boss Cowley.
