Sierra Leone native, Abu Kamara, has netted again for Portsmouth during their 1-1 draw with Bolton Wanderers.

Coach John Mousinho was pleased with Portsmouth’s 1-1 draw at Bolton despite the leaders’ bid for promotion and the Sky Bet League One title put on hold.

Abu Kamara’s seventh-minute goal put the visitors in front, but Aaron Collins’ fifth goal in three games after 36 minutes ensured Pompey needing a point against Barnsley at Fratton Park on Tuesday to reach the Championship.

Despite turning down recent offer to represent Sierra Leone, Kamara is one of the many players under Leone Star’s Coach Amidu Karim book for upcoming World Cup and Nations Cup Qualifiers 2026.

However, it keeps Bolton at arm’s length which was an important thing for them to do. “We came here for the win and during the game we made substitutions to try and win it.” “I think though on balance, Bolton probably deserved to win it. I was displeased how we reacted to going a goal up.”

“I thought we were poor. We made some poor decisions reduced at a few clearances and didn’t do enough to track runners.”

“Confidently, now we can get the job done on in the weekend over our counterpart.”

There was talk in the week whether it was better to go and do it at Fratton, he said.

“But we were desperate to try and get the job done here,” said Manager Mousinho
