Chaplin snatches stoppage-time winner as Portsmouth end winless run | OneFootball

Conor Chaplin struck in the seventh minute of second half stoppage time as Portsmouth beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at the Riverside Stadium, ending a four-match winless run.

Deep into second half stoppage time, substitute Adrian Segečić worked a short corner and fed Chaplin, who swept a left-footed finish into the bottom left.

Nicolas Schmid kept Portsmouth in it with eight saves. Boro piled on the pressure throughout, producing 20 attempts with eight on target and forcing 14 corners.

After half-time, Boro introduced Sontje Hansen and Luke Ayling, and Hansen twice drew sharp stops from Schmid as the hosts pushed for a breakthrough.

Six minutes of added time were indicated before Portsmouth landed the decisive punch.

Portsmouth managed just three attempts but survived thanks to disciplined defending. They also made 44 clearances.

Next, Boro visit Ipswich. Portsmouth host Ipswich next.
