Press Box: The Times

Last updated : 17 April 2006 By Alyson Rudd

Fulham's opening goal made Boa Morte look cunning and Charlton dozy, but the Addicks equalised thanks to Darren Ambrose's set-piece.

Four minutes later, Boa Morte embarked on a determined run through the Charlton defence and scored with ease once again.

There was a long lull during the second half. While second best for much of the game, Charlton burst into action in the dying minutes to try to force an equaliser. But for two splendid saves from Antti Niemi, they would have been successful.
