The home side continued to impress and almost made it two in first half stoppage time when Ryan Cooney found Kieran Phillips in the box, but the Morecambe man couldn’t make a clean enough connection to threaten the visitor's goal.
Pompey goalkeeper Josh Griffiths denied the Shrimps a second right at the end of the first half when he saved from Jensen Weir who was one-on-one with Pompey man.
