Andre Dozzell's 87th-minute equaliser rescued a point for Portsmouth against Oxford, despite the visitors playing with ten men for over half the match. Keshi Anderson gave Pompey an early lead, but Connor Ogilvie's straight red card for a tackle on Stan Mills just seven minutes later turned the game on its head. Brodie Spencer equalized before Will Lankshear's diving header seemed to seal victory for Oxford, only for Dozzell to steer home late on, securing a crucial point for the struggling side.

The dramatic finish left both teams separated by the relegation line, with Portsmouth holding a slight advantage. The goal was Dozzell's first since November, a significant return for the midfielder.
