Portsmouth FC vs.

 Manchester City  

 Ian's first Premiership Football "soccer" match 

 
 
Ian attended a truly British experience by going with a soldier in his unit to see a Premiership Football match where Portsmouth Football Club "Pompey" took on Manchester City at Fratton Park in Portsmouth.  Pompey won 2 goals to 1 with the last goal coming in the final 30 seconds...very high drama and fun to root for the home team who were the underdogs.  Enjoy.
 
 
 
The match in play - Pompey in Blue and Man City in Yellow
 
 
 
Our seats were behind the goal, to our left were the visitor fans. Great seats.  Also some of the only ones left at a Premiership stadium that are not under cover, Fratton Park is old school.
 
 
 
Man City takes a shot at the goal (see the football over the roof)
 
 
 
Pompey scores the goal in the final 30 seconds. The crowd goes wild!
