Ten men Latics lose in a hugely entertaining encounter at the JJB Stadium, but the win for Pompey means they stay in the Premiership next season.
The club were still recovering from the shock of Jimmy Bullard's £2.5million transfer to Fulham, and as a result, the Pompey match was the first Premiership match the former Peterborough midfielder missed this season.
But it was good news for David Thompson who slotted into the central midfield position for his eigth league start since his free transfer from Blackburn Rovers in January.
Portsmouth? Leading scorer Lomana LuaLua, who had been have intensive treatment in an oxygen chamber in a bid to heal his ankle did not make it into the Pompey squad, and so Todorov and Benjani were the striking partnership for the south coast club,
Portsmouth desperately needed the points to keep themselves on top of Birmingham, who played Newcastle. Meanwhile, a draw for the south coast club would beenough to send West Bromwich down, who don't play until Monday.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With a huge following from Portsmouth filling up the five thousand capacity North Stand, there was an electric atmosphere inside the JJB Stadium, and there were plenty of chances.
Within the first three minutes Henri Camara lashed a shot straight at Dean Kiely before Pedro Mendes' long ball found Todorov who escaped the offside trap, but the striker was marshalled well by the Latics defence.
Gary Teale crossed from the right flank towards David Thompson at the far post, but it was headed over the bar, and then moments later Andres D'Allesandro's dangerous looking left footed cross was headed over by Todorov from close range.
The south coast club continued to put pressure when Todorov's header was deflected out for a corner. The Argentine D'Allesandro sent a corner to the far post where Benjani fired a shot which was parried away by Pollitt on 11 minutes.
Henri Camara proved to be real threat to Portmouth's Premiership credentials, as the Latics striker had loads of chances to put Jewell's men a goal up.
Graham Kavanagh's through-ball to Camara enabled the Senegal striker to sprint away from the Pompey defence, but his shot was well blocked by Dean Kiely at point blank range.
Camara did indeed put the ball into the empty net past the oncoming Kiely on 14 minutes when David Thompson produced a superb ball to Camara over the Portsmouth midfield. But referee Mike Riley ruled it out for offside! It seemed like a marginal decision by the official.
Once again, Camara produced his magic again when he flicked the ball over Pompey skipper Dejan Stefanovic and raced towards goal, but once again Kiely denied the striker, and ten minutes later, he raced onto another Thompson ball but his shot was straight at the goalkeeper.
In the 29th minute Benjani forced another corner which D'Allesandro took, and it was perfect for Gary O'Neil who diverted the ball towards the far post, but the Pompey fans behind the goal were left disappointed when it was headed off the line by Leighton Baines.
But three minutes later, Latics silenced the Portsmouth following when they took the lead. Jason Roberts pressurised Gary O'Neil into conceding the corner. David Thompson took it, but it was immediately headed away, but the ball landed to the former Blackburn midfielder again, and he planted the ball back into the box. Jason Roberts headed it straight at Dean Kiely, but he spilled to Henri CAMARA who side-footed home from close range.
It could have been even worse for Pompey when Camara missed what seemed like his seventh chance of the afternoon when he headed wide from Gary Teale's cross. But then right at the other end of pitch, Pompey went forward and Gary O'Neil's long range effort from twenty five yards saw the ball dip late and it clipped the top of the bar!
In the 41st minute David Thompson produced a deadly looking corner, and it was perfect for Matt Jackson who was unmarked in the penalty area, but the defender headed wide of the far post.
Half-Time: Latics 1 - 0 Portsmouth
Portsmouth had a glorious chance to level the scores just minutes after the restart when Benjani went past Jackson and put in a low cross towards the near post where Svetoslav Todorov was only a yard away, but he spooned it over the bar! Latics were given a big let off because it was most incredible miss seen in a long time at the JJB Stadium.
And Pompey had a chance almost as good just before the hour mark when Brian Priske's cross from the right flank found Gary O'Neil who was in plenty of space and fired a shot towards the target, but Pollitt made a vital save.
The south coast club gave themselves a vital lifeline in the 63rd minute Matt Taylor's half volley saw the ball bounce off the far post and it left Zimbabwean striker BENJANI the opportunity to head home right on the line.
Portsmouth were on fire, and they immediately set out to get themselves another goal. Andres D'Allesendro saw his corner only half cleared by the Latics defence, and the ball fell to Pedro Mendes, and the Portuguese midfielder saw his volley palmed away by Pollitt. And a minute later D'Allesandro sent a curling shot from the edge of the box just inched over Pollitt's far post.
Todorov crossed towards Benjani, whose header looked to be going in, but Gary Teale's handled the ball to divert it away from the goal! As a result, referee Milk Riley awarded the penalty and sent the Scottish winger off.
Matthew TAYLOR powered the ball from the penalty spot into the far corner past the reach of Pollitt. The Pompey fans went mad, and Teale's hand could help the Fratton Park club retain their top flight status.
And Pompey almost took another stride towards safety in the 74th minute when Gary O'Neil broke the offside trap and went forward towards Mike Pollitt, but the former Rotherham 'keeper made a brilliant block.
The south coast club had dominated most of the second half, and Benjani threatened when he used his strength to get past Stephane Henchoz, but when he did the former Auxerre man fired straight at Pollitt.
In stoppage time Portsmouth were just minutes away from completing their great escape, although O'Neil earned himself a yellow card for a cynical hack on Pascal Chimbonda. Pollitt humped the ball upfield from the free-kick but Pompey cleared and broke away to keep the lead.
With Birmingham only managing a goalless draw at St. Andrews against Newcastle, referee Mike Riley's final whistle meant that Latics will be playing Portsmouth twice more next season.
