The Reds had done all they can after beating Aston Villa u21s two weeks ago but had to wait to see if they would progress.

Lewis Young’s men were relying on the Dons beating Pompey at Fratton Park.

It was the Blues who took an early lead when Ronan Curtis scored after just 15 minutes.

That’s how it stayed until six minutes after half time when Ayoub Assal scored.

The game finished 1-1 and Pompey went on to win 3-1 on penalties with keeper Joshua Oluwayemi saving three spot kicks

The bonus point meant Pompey finished one point above the Reds.
