Portsmouth 1-0 Bolton Wanderers: away from relegation zone

It was victory at Fratton Park when Belhadj scored the winning goal after the injury of Niko Kranjcar which lead Portsmouth with 37 points away from the relegation zone. Three points were geathered by Portsmouth at those points are very important hence for next game with Manchester United. 

In the first half Portsmouth's side were mostly attacking bringing the ball forward and send a couple of crosses but it seems Bolton's defending isn't easy to break. There were few corners as well and mostly the delivers aren't helping Portsmouth getting a goal or two. A lot of Bolton players such as Elmander and Gardner brought the ball forward creating spaces as well but it was very hard to pass the keeper. Few minutes after the kick off Gardner picked up an injury which the commentators kept on saying a hamstring (I'm not pretty sure as well) brought bad luck to the Bolton side since Gardner was badly injuredand force to leave the pitch. Last person who touched Gardner was Mullins but to me, It wasn't his fault though.

I'm not really sure but Hermann and Davies seem to fight on field a lot. The fought back at Fratton Park as well and the commentators said they fought until both earned red cards a few seasons ago. In the first match between Portsmouth and Bolton this season, Hermann and Davies fought too. Maybe they are...

Anyway tragedy hits Portsmouth at the second half as Niko Kranjcar got an injury which looks worse than ever... Paramedics came, examine and decided to bring a strecther and carries Kranjcar to the locker room, leaving Belhadj as a substitution for the injured Croat. 

The game started again and it was a corner won by Portsmouth. Supposely Kranjcar would kick it but now it's Belhadj to the job.  He positioned the ball and kicked it right after the referee's whistle. The ball curved and it went pass the net! It's still a mistery on who goaled. Kanu or Belhadj. If the ball deflected by Kanu before or after the ball went in. But what people know the exact thing is that's a goal.

So next match is with the one of the giants. Manchester United vs Portsmouth at Old Trafford. WATCH IT!
