Result: Portsmouth 4-2 Birmingham

By: b-man | March 13th, 2008

Jermain Defoe put Pompey 2-0 up before even the 10minute mark!

His first was from the penalty spot after David Murphy handled a cross from Baros. His second was a perfect example of his poachers nature in front of goal.

It looked like Pompey were cruising. But just a minute after Defoe’s second goal Fabrice Muamba scored to make it 2-1. 3 goals in 10 minutes? Not a bad opening ten!

Birmingham drew level just before half time from a brilliant curling free-kick from Seb Larsson.

It looked like Pompey had blown it, but they come out quickly from the blocks after half time.

Hreidarsson bundled bundled the ball in from close range just 4 minutes after the re-start. However it was then Birminghams turn for a spell of dominance.

Yet as Birmingham surged forward in the closing minutes in search of an equaliser, Pompey took advantage of this and launched a fast counter attack which ended in a Pedro Mendes cross being headed home by substitute Kanu.

A good game (as I predicted!) with Defoe looking very lively, scoring two goals (as I predicted!!). The visitors fully deserved their two goals (as I predicted!!!) and they could have snatched a draw on several occassions.

I have to say; this prediction nonsense is easy! I was close enough with the 4-2 scoreline (having predicted 3-2).

I’m left wondering whether it is worth spending my life savings on a bet for Pompey’s next game…
