Portsmouth lose out on historic win over AC Milan

Portsmouth narrowly lost out on one of the biggest victories in its history yesterday evening after surrendereing a 2-0 lead over AC Milan in the UEFA Europa League to end the match with a disappointing 2 all draw.

Younes Kaboul and Nwankwo Kanu scored for Portsmouth to give their side a unexpected 2-0 lead over the club that has won the Champions League 7 times during its history.

Portsmouth was able to hold onto the lead until 6 minutes from time, when AC Milan’s power on attack finally told as both Ronaldinho and Filipo Inzaghi found the back of the Pompey net.

“At the moment we are struggling to put teams to bed,” Portsmouth manager Tony Adams told Channel Five after the match. “They have some fantastic players, AC Milan, and if you switch it off they can punish you.”

The result of the match saw AC Milan head to the top of Group E with 7 points. Wolfsburg took 2nd place in the group after a win over FC Braga, while Portsmouth ended the evening in 4th place in Group E.
