Portsmouth manager John Mousinho said:
“We ground out the win – that’s the best way to sum it up. But these are the important results.
“We weren’t great in the first half and although we controlled possession and got into some good areas, we didn’t create anything.
“Cambridge pressed us differently to what we were expecting and once we got on the ball, we needed to be more patient and less sloppy.
“But we were much better after the break and started to have chances, finding a lot of joy down the right-hand side.
“Again we weren’t as clinical as I would like in the final third, although sometimes you just have to get over the line.
