Cardiff v Portsmouth Match Report
Cardiff City continued their resurgence under manager Omar Riza, securing a 2-0 victory over Portsmouth at the Cardiff City Stadium. An early own goal from Regan Poole and a Callum Robinson strike set the tone for the Bluebirds, who dominated much of the first half. Despite Portsmouth’s attempts to rally in the second half, Cardiff’s defence stood firm, recording a well-earned clean sheet.
Key Moments
- 6' Own Goal (1-0 Cardiff): Regan Poole misjudged a clearance and turned the ball into his own net, giving Cardiff an early lead.
- 13' Goal (2-0 Cardiff): Dimitris Goutas delivered a pinpoint cross to Callum Robinson, who calmly slotted the ball into the bottom corner, doubling the lead.
- 15' Substitution (Portsmouth): Portsmouth’s key forward Kusini Yengi had to be replaced early due to injury, with Paddy Lane coming on in his place.
- Second Half Pressure: Portsmouth made several attacking substitutions but failed to break down Cardiff’s solid defensive setup.
