Abu Kamara was pleased after Portsmouth's debut

Abu Kamara was pleased after Portsmouth’s debut

Abu Kamara, 19, was one of the four debutants for Portsmouth Football Club in their 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers in the English League One opener on Saturday. 

The on-loan Norwich youngster was a threat in the last 25 minutes when he was subbed on in the 65th minute.

Kamara, on his official Instagram page, to express himself. 

“Happy to make my Pompey debut! Thanks to the fans for a warm welcome, Onto the next.” 

The attacker, who signed on a season-long loan deal from Norwich, was named in John Mousinho’s first-team squad but started on the bench.

Kusini Yengi subbed on to score a dramatic last-gasp equaliser for Pompey against Bristol Rovers.

Luke Thomas netted midway through the first half for the Gas, and that looked to be enough to earn them a first win at Fratton Park since 1975.

A vital goal from debutant Yengi after he converted a Joe Rafferty cross at the death to ensure the Blues earned an opening day point.
