Charlton maintained their unbeaten home record this season with a 0-0 draw against Portsmouth. The Championship encounter lacked goals but offered entertainment, particularly in an open second half.

The hosts were dominant in the first 45 minutes, creating big chances. Millenic Alli volleyed over from close range after a perfect cross by Tyreece Campbell in the 32nd minute. Earlier, Portsmouth goalkeeper Daniel Bielica repelled a fierce strike from Karlan Grant. Charlton keeper Arthur Okonkwo saved Terry Devlin's low cutback in the 15th minute, while Conor Shaughnessy cleared Tyler Bindon's dangerous cross.

Portsmouth, who scored in their last 11 away league matches, failed to register a shot on target before halftime. In the second half, Okonkwo saved Abu Kamara's shot, and referee Andrew Kitchen dismissed penalty appeals. Despite Portsmouth's fresher performance, Charlton's solid defense secured the point.

Nathan Jones praised his team's first-half performance, noting Alli's clear chance and Grant's opportunity. He emphasized that scoring first would have made them difficult to beat.
