Play by play

  1. 90'

    Harry Redknapp becomes the first English manager to win the trophy since Joe Royle in 1990. Well done, 'arry.

  2. 90'

    Unlucky Cardiff. They played their part. Well done to them too.

  3. 90'

    Portsmouth: FA Cup Winners 2008. Well done, Pompey.

  4. 90'

    Another ball pumped in. James claims with calm. And that is just about it....and it is.

  5. 90'

    Headed away then Roger Johnson makes room. Glen Johnson blocks him.

  6. 90'

    Silly foul from Diarra. Peter Enckelman comes up for the free-kick.

  7. 90'

    James gets the ball under a high bouncing ball. And gets back up.

  8. 90'

    Flicked on. Peter Enckelman smashes long. Must be time for him to go up.

  9. 90'

    Free-kick after Ramsey fouls Bouba Diop. He makes a meal of it. Time ticking down for Harry.

  10. 90'

    Capaldi to launch in a long throw. Thompson the target. Distin gets it away.

  11. 90'

    Hreidarsson hoofs long. Pompey happy with their 1-0.

  12. 90'

    Four minutes to be added on.

  13. 89'

    Bouba Diop wins another. McNaughton is wracked by cramp and can't walk.

  14. 88'

    Ramsey has two chances to equalise. Scrambled away as he tries to play in his team-mates. Panic for Portsmouth turns to relief as Baros wins a corner.

  15. 87'

    Sinclair gets on a run. But his cross fades into the area and James lets it loop out.

  16. 86'

    Kanu takes his time to limp off. The goalscorer of course.

  17. 85'

    Kanu limping and Baros is about to come on for him. On comes Tricky Trev Sinclair for Gavin Rae.

  18. 85'

    And then just squeezes it wide. Best attack in some time from a conservative Pompey.

  19. 84'

    The Pompey Chimes ring out. And Distin goes on a cavalry charge.

  20. 83'

    Nugent makes some space with a nice run. Portsmouth happy to keep it.

  21. 82'

    Pompey attack. McNaughton looks to have cramp as he goes down in stopping it.

  22. 80'

    Ramsey, bubbling away, wins a throw. Capaldi launches it. But Campbell away.

  23. 79'

    Johnson holds off Ledley to win a goal-kick.

  24. 78'

    Ramsey took it. Thompson came in and Loevens can't direct at goal. A good chance again for the Dutchman.
