Min by Min: Portsmouth v Stoke

Last updated : 27 October 2009 By Dan Buxton

6: First chance of the game as Tuncay beats offside trap and races through but back heel to Lawrence doesn't come off

8: Arismendi clears ball after Webber's shot is blocked by Higginbotham

9: Piquionne is put through, looking offside, and shows lack of confidence as he waits for support when one on one and cross is hacked away by Griffin with Pompey players waiting for tap in

16: Piquionne slides in the first goal of the game as a great cross from Belhadj is met by the striker at the back post, just four yards out.

17: Pugh has to head clear off the line as Yebda looked to get on the end of Webber's cross

19: Tuncay just fails to latch onto a long ball forward and Ashdown gathers

33: After great build up including Arismendi, Lawrence and Griffin, the full back beats two men but overhits cross with men waiting

36: Piquionne plays one two with Webber on the edge of the box before missing when he seemed certain to grab his second

38: Lawrence collects Tuncay pass and bombs forward with the ball but shot, from 25 yards, flies well over the bar. Griffin had made a 70 yard run but wasn't spotted by Lawrence

HT: Stoke are coming more into the game the further it goes, and will be looking for that elusive final ball in the second half.

48: Stoke get bodies in the box and Tuncay does well to find Lawrence. The winger cross is blocked by Belhadj as the waiting City players trot back disappointed.

57: Disaster for the Potters as Piquionne wins the ball off a City defender on the edge of the City area before pushing the ball through to Webber who smashes it past Simonsen and put the hosts 2-0 up

60: Simonsen makes a hash of a lofted free kick, coming and catching the ball before dropping it at the feet of Piquionne who taps into an empty net from three yards for 3-0

64: Lawrence delivers poor corner but gets second chance. Better delivery this time and Arismendi heads goalwards. Effort is blocked and on breakaway Tonge is booked for late tackle on Dindane.

73: Arismendi times his run to perfection to beat defence and collect ball and puts ball across box for Tuncay to tap in at the back post, but the flag is raised and he is given offside.

78: Arismendi and Sidibe are denied by the flying fist of Ashdown as they look yto nod in Griffin's delightful cross at the far post.

80: Arismendi plays 1-2 with Griffin before whipping dangerous ball into box. Sidibe challenges keeper but ref gives a free kick as Malian striker wins ball

82: Whelan slips in midfield, Mokoena picks up ball and threads through to Kanu. Nigerian rounds keeper and slots home as defence stand and watch. 4-0

84: Moult dummies past Wilson before being hauled to the floor.  Defender gets a booking as striker was in behind defence there.

90: Kanu curls effort from 18 yards after terrible mistake from Cort

FT: Defensive errors killed the game and the Potters never really threatened as the lack of games showed. Expect to see a few loan moves in the coming weeks.
