English Premiership Portsmouth 1 Bolton 1: Azar Karadas' goal four minutes from time earned Portsmouth a valuable point in their fight against relegation from the Premiership - denting Bolton's Champions League chances in the process.
Karadas expertly hooked in a Wayne Routledge cross to deny Sam Allardyce's men, who had taken the lead when Khalilou Fadiga - who missed a first half penalty - scored direct from a free-kick from near the corner flag.
Pompey had the latest two of their nine January signings, Routledge and Argentinian star Andres D'Alessandro in the starting line-up.
But the inclusion of Zimbabwe striker Benjani Mwaruwari was more of a surprise - the day after he had scored in the African Nations Cup in Egypt. Mwaruwari was flown out of Cairo on an early morning jet and replaced Vincent Pericard in the Pompey line-up, while Richard Hughes and Gregory Vignal were both dropped.
