United’s unbeaten pre-season campaign continue in Nigeria, running out 2-1 winners against Portsmouth. Second-half goals from Chris Eagles and Carlos Tevez gave United a deserved win.
Eagles made amends for missed first-half chances in the 50th min. Pompey failed to clear the ball from a Reds attack and Eagles smashed the loose ball into the top corner from 12 yards. United soon moved 2-0 in front with another emphatic finish. Tevez raced down the right channel and surprised James, who was expecting a shot across goal, with powerful low drive into the near corner. Defoe pulled back a goal for Portsmouth in the last minute of normal time, but United held out to record a third win in four matches in Africa.
