MK Dons 1-1 Portsmouth - Honours even at Stadium MK

And that’s all she wrote - the game finishes 1-1.

Dons looked very good in the second-half, much more of a threat than in the first 45 minutes. A good night’s work against strong opposition.

Not sure McGill knew a lot about that, but it was fired into his chest by substitute Lang after Tucker slipped and Lewington was unable to keep up

Great shift from Tom Carroll tonight, he’s replaced by Keon Lewis-Burgess

Tom Carroll, who was earlier fouled resulting in a yellow card, has just done the same on Towler to go into the book himself

Good stop again from Norris as Dennis this time gets away down the left of the box.

Attendance: 2,317 (647)

Dons probably should do better there. Carroll intercepts 30 yards out, has Dennis one side and Gilbey the other, opts for Gilbey who gets it onto his right foot, but it wasn’t really a cross or a shot, but curled safely into the arms of Norris

On come Pritchard, Lewington, Wearne, Kelly, Gilbey and Harrison, off come Sherring, Maguire, Offord, Tomlinson, Grant and Leigh

Tommy Leigh gives the home crowd something to cheer as he rifles into the net from 15 yards out.

As Dons won back possession, Leigh was in acres in the box as Dennis took up the attention, and he picked his spot to make it 1-1!

Nice play from Dons, Joe Tomlinson takes aim on his right peg from the edge of the box, Norris gets down low to save.

Looks like Dons are ready to make five more changes

Not often to get cards in these sorts of games, but Conor Shaugnessy has left a really late one on Tom Carroll and goes into the book for Portsmouth

Portsmouth look happy to slow the pace right down, almost frustrating Dons into chasing as they so often make other teams do.

Matt Dennis is looking lively and keen to make an impression, but he’s just hauled down Towler inside the box before smashing the ball into the net after the ref had blown up

With Tucker taking over in the centre of the back three, Luke Offord has been shifted into the vacant spot left by MJ Williams, while Dennis is like for like up front.

When we spoke to Luke Offord earlier this summer, he said he played some of his best football in midfield

Two changes at the break for Dons, Matt Dennis has replaced Callum Hendry and Jack Tucker has replaced MJ Williams.

Dons get the game back underway

A decent end to the half for Dons, after Portsmouth scored an early goal through Josh Murphy to take the lead.

Portsmouth had the better of the game for the most part, as you’d expect, but Dons began to gain a bit more control in the latter stages.

Teenager Callum Tripp looks like he’s in here, showing the Portsmouth defence a clean set of heels, but rather than take aim himself, he looks to cross for Tommy Leigh but can’t pick out his team-mate.

Then the flag goes up and ruins it all anyway

A great move put together there by Dons. Hendry nearly gets in behind but has the ball pinched off his toe as he is set to shoot by Conor Shaugnessy, before it’s worked back into the danger zone by Dons, but Tommy Leigh’s effort is always going wide

A deep corner nearly lets Ryley Towler in at the back post for Portsmouth, but the centre-back’s sliding effort is the wrong side of the net, though McGill had it covered
