EDMONTON -- When they first started out, FC Edmontons players might have expected to lose badly to a team that had just spent several seasons in the English Premier League. Authentic Eli Manning White Jersey . That was three months ago. Now they think they can win. Nadir Ciftci scored a goal in regulation and the winner from the penalty spot as English side Portsmouth FC narrowly defeated Edmonton 5-4 in penalty kicks in exhibition soccer action Wednesday. With the teams tied 1-1 after regulation, Portsmouth beat Edmonton goalkeeper Rein Baart on all five of its penalty attempts. Edmonton scored on Portsmouth backup goalkeeper Liam OBrien four times, with Antonio Raga missing his attempt. "It was a great learning experience," said Edmonton head coach Dwight Lodeweges. "Before we played (top Chilean squad) Colo-Colo we were worried with getting killed. And then we didnt. And as we have gone on we started to think we had a chance to beat Portsmouth. We had a difficult first half but we corrected it and I think we took over the game. "As a coach of guys who were amateurs three months ago to be able to play against these guys and do so well, its magic." It was the fourth tune-up game for FC Edmonton one year before it is set to join the North American Soccer League. "For a team that has only been together for three months, thats not bad," Ciftci said of Edmontons early form. Edmonton defeated the Montreal Impact and Ottawa Fury, and lost 4-3 to Colo-Colo earlier this summer. Midfielder Chris Lemire, who scored Edmontons goal, said the result was a confidence booster. "We would have liked to have won but at the end of the day it was a good result against an English Premier team," he said. "I think we did well. We got unlucky in the shootout, but you win some, you lose some. It makes you really excited about next year when the games start to count for us." Portsmouth was relegated to Englands League Championship at the end of this season after seven straight seasons in the Premier League, due in part to recent financial difficulties. That ended a successful run that saw Portsmouth win the FA Cup in 2008 and make the Cup final again in 2010, where it lost 1-0 to Chelsea. Portsmouth had only 14 players to draw from due to a rash of injuries. A crowd of 8,792 at Commonwealth Stadium saw Edmonton surprise Portsmouth with a goal in the sixth minute. Matt Lam made a nice cross into the crease for Lemire, who chipped the ball past Portsmouth keeper Jon Stewart. OBrien was substituted in for Stewart, who injured his knee on the play and had to be taken off on a stretcher. At the same time, Portsmouths Tom Kilbey also left the match, leaving the side with just one sub. Pete Gregory, who was questionable for the game with a calf injury, was forced into action. OBrien was very quickly tested as a pass back from Stephen Jordan seemed to surprise him and nearly went into the net. Edmonton had a quality chance in the 36th minute as Portsmouth captain Marc Wilson was assessed a yellow card, but the ensuing free kick sailed wide. Portsmouth came back quickly to tie the match in the 38th minute as Matt Richie sent a short corner to David Nugent and he sent it in front to Ciftci, who had an easy tap-in past Baart. "For the first 10 minutes we should have done better," Ciftci said. "We gave a cheap goal away. But we picked it up and I felt we should have scored a couple in the second half." Edmonton made a push to regain the lead in the 55th minute but a shot by Sam Lam sailed just over the crossbar. Portsmouth looked to have scored a goal in the 68th minute as Nugent hammered a ball into the net but it was waived off due to goalkeeper interference. Edmonton almost scored off a corner in the 90th minute as a header got past OBrien, but the ball was safely headed away by Michael Brown. Notes: This was the second edition of the Edmonton Cup.
