Portsmouth's winless run of form in League Two has been stretched to four matches this afternoon as AFC Wimbledon left Fratton Park with a 0-0 draw to show for their efforts.
Hosting Pompey were the dominant force in terms of possession during the first half, but it was the visitors that created the better openings.
Sean Rigg tested Brian Murphy with a powerful strike from inside the penalty area and then the home goalkeeper had to be alert to thwart George Francomb.
Pompey's best chance came six minutes after the restart when Marc McNulty muscled his way beyond Paul Robinson, only for his rising shot to be tipped over the crossbar by Wimbledon goalkeeper Ben Wilson.
Goalscoring opportunities were at a premium thereafter, with neither keeper called into any meaningful action as the encounter drew to a close.
As a consequence of the stalemate, Portsmouth have passed up the chance to move into third position and are now fourth, while Wimbledon sit ninth.
