Pompey's Jose Giordano missed a penalty late in added time as Panchur Muri survived a huge scare to go 2 points clear at the top of the Division 7 Group 34 table, with two games in hand over rivals Ashton United.

Kwong-ku Chun's early header from Gereke's cross sent the 650.7 home Muri fans into delirium.

Panchur Muri deservedly doubled their lead through Roger o Gaughan's delightful flick early in the second half.

Jose Giordano provided a glimmer of hope for the travelling fans, as he found the top corner with an emphatic header. Giordano was given the chance to equalise deep into added time, when Marquat tripped Cristo in the area. However, the nerves seemed to get to Giordano, as he blazed his penalty over the bar, handing Panchur Muri another victory.

Panchur Muri manager Bongolium the Cheeky was missing from the dugout after testing positive for AIDS on Wednesday, with assistant Malangala the Naughty taking charge of the hosts. He had this to say: 'Kami sial'.
