Match recap: Portsmouth reward an enterprising display
Portsmouth’s trip to Charlton produced a convincing 3-1 win, a result the visiting manager described as the product of a "really strong performance. " He highlighted an early escape — a moment in the opening minute that might have gone the other way — as a wake-up call that sharpened his team. From that point, he said, Portsmouth were excellent for long spells, controlling large parts of the first hour and fully meriting their lead.
The manager noted a period of relative chaos late in the contest after his side secured a third goal, saying a handful of puzzling decisions crept in, but praised the resilience his players showed to see the game out in difficult circumstances. Charlton made three changes after the interval in an attempt to alter the flow, but Portsmouth’s second-half response ensured the visitors left south London with all three points.

What the result means for both clubs
For Portsmouth, the victory represented an important away haul and a morale-boosting performance. The manager’s praise underlined how the team absorbed an early scare, grew into the game and imposed themselves for long spells — traits that will please supporters and staff as the season progresses.
Charlton face questions at the Valley after a home defeat that came despite making proactive changes at half-time. The alterations did not have the desired effect, and the coaching staff will now have to regroup and address the defensive lapse that cost them in the opening phase. Home supporters will expect lessons to be learned ahead of the next fixture.
Ultimately, the night belonged to Portsmouth: a composed performance interrupted briefly by late nerves but sufficient to secure a valuable three-goal return. Charlton, meanwhile, must take stock and respond quickly if they want to recover momentum at home.
