Rangers, who had lost three home games in a row, were on top from the start and went in front after seven minutes. Kolli doubled Rangers’ lead on 24 minutes, collecting Smyth’s pass and firing a low, right-footed shot beyond goalkeeper Nicolas Schmid from 25 yards. Portsmouth appeared to be finding a way back into the game, but Kolli’s 55th-minute goal essentially sealed Rangers’ win. Kone made it 4-1 with an 86th-minute penalty after Esquerdinha was adjudged to have been tripped by Colby Bishop on the left-hand side of the box. The striker netted again just over a minute later, racing onto Vale’s through-ball and thumping home.
