"And Tonda Eckert's visitors went ahead soon after the interval, when Scienza was played through by Finn Azaz and finished coolly over Schmid to cap a fluid counter-attack. However, Portsmouth hit back when Adrian Segecic's corner deflected off a red and white shirt and looped into the air, with Adams, who only joined from Derby County last week, stabbing the ball home from close quarters."
"This was the first time Portsmouth and Southampton had met in a league game at Fratton Park since December 2011, with that match also finishing 1-1 in the Championship. Portsmouth are now unbeaten in their last five home games against Southampton, winning two and drawing three, while they are also unbeaten in five South Coast derbies overall (one win, four draws). This is their longest-ever unbeaten run against Southampton in the Football League."
Portsmouth climbed out of the Championship relegation zone after Ebou Adams' equaliser earned a 1-1 draw with Southampton at Fratton Park. John Mousinho's side fell behind to Leo Scienza's 57th-minute finish after a fluid counter-attack set up by Finn Azaz. Adams, who joined from Derby County last week, scored his first goal for Portsmouth 13 minutes from time from a deflected Adrian Segecic corner. Portsmouth created more chances, taking 14 shots to Southampton's six and winning the expected goals battle 1.66 xG to 1.11. Six minutes of added time failed to produce a late winner.
