After the goal, Portsmouth became more proactive and became more aggressive in their actions.

The 40th minute of the game.

In the middle, Wang Chu intercepted the ball from Ward's feet. He was like a tank, holding the ball and rushing forward in the middle. He brought the ball to the top of the arc and shot a long shot with his right foot. The ball was saved by the focused Ashdown and Notts County got a corner kick opportunity on the right.

Mahrez took a corner kick, and there seemed to be no big threat in this corner kick attack. Just when everyone thought the game would continue smoothly, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded.

The fans at the Mido Lane Stadium were excited. Although the Portsmouth players protested towards the referee, they also knew in their hearts that there was a high probability that this penalty kick would not change.

In the 40th minute of the game, Notts County got a penalty kick opportunity. This sudden change made the players of both teams become nervous.

Mane hugged the ball tightly and walked to the penalty spot with firm steps. His eyes were focused and sharp, as if he wanted to penetrate all obstacles in front of him. Portsmouth goalkeeper Ashdown stood in front of the goal, fully prepared and watching Mane's every move.

Mane took a deep breath, took a slight run-up, then suddenly exerted force and kicked the ball hard towards the goal. Unfortunately, Ashdown showed amazing reaction speed and accurate judgment. He seemed to have anticipated the direction of Mane's shot, quickly fell to the ground and dove sideways, successfully blocking the ball out.

Seeing this scene, the Notts County fans couldn't help but sigh with regret.

They originally expected Mane to take this opportunity to expand their lead, but now they can only watch the opportunity slip away.

However, Mane did not give up.

He rushed forward at extremely fast speed and grabbed the second spot before the opponent's defender.

Immediately afterwards, he kicked out a powerful shot with his right foot without hesitation.

The ball flew out like a cannonball and hit the dead center of the goal.
