Anis Mehmeti scored an early goal that secured Bristol City a narrow but crucial victory over Portsmouth. The visitors took control from the start, and Mehmeti’s strike proved decisive as the home side struggled to respond.
Pompey’s difficulties continued as they slipped further into the relegation zone after this loss, managing only one win in their recent matches. Despite moments of effort, they failed to create clear scoring opportunities and looked short of confidence throughout the game.
Bristol City showed discipline in defence and composure in possession. After taking the lead, they managed the game effectively, restricting Portsmouth’s attacks and maintaining their structure. The result adds valuable points to their campaign and highlights Mehmeti’s growing influence on the pitch.
“We needed a strong response, and the players delivered early. After that, we stayed solid and did our job,” said a Bristol City representative after the match.
Mehmeti’s early finish gave Bristol City a disciplined 1–0 away win over Portsmouth, whose ongoing struggles pushed them deeper into the relegation zone.
