Hesitant defending from Arjan De Zeeuw and Schemmel in the second half allowed Lazardis in to score the second, comdemning Portsmouth to defeat despite a bright showing. The full-back later stated: "‘I thought the player was offside when he went through so I let him go.
"But the referee didn't give the decision and he's gone through to score. It was my fault. It's a mistake and one I'll learn from."
