    GOAL FOR STOKE!! Stoke will go through to the next qualifying round. Whelan crosses towards Shotton on the six yard box but it comes of the backside of Milicevic before going into the back of the net.
    90'
    Etherington is now booked. It looks like it's for taking the free-kick too soon. We'll have five minutes stoppage time.

    Stoke play the corner short and play it from right to left before winning a free-kick. Saric is booked for a lunge on Etherington.
    88'
    Despite being a defender, Shotton, who stands at 6' 3", is playing as a target man. He wins a corner for his side. Smart play.

    Tomasov is replaced by Tomasov.

    Jonathan Walters is replaced by Ryan Shotton. That is a very defensive-minded substitution.
    86'
    Stoke look resigned to the fact that they are not going to score. Tony Pulis must be very confident in his side closing this game out. They haven't had a lot of possession though...

    Pennant is replaced by Danny Pugh.
    84'
    Begovic's clerance is poor and falls straight to the feet of Trebotic who launches it back towards the goalkeeper and out for a goal kick.
    83'
    The home side are exerting an awful amount of pressure on Stoke here. The visitors will have done very, very well if they see this game out with a clean sheet.
    82'
    The free kick is pumped into the box towards the solitary Walters. Unsurprisingly, Split win the ball.

    The players are having another drinks break as Whelan is down. Pennant is booked for time-wastingover the free kick.
    80'
    Brkljaca goes down in the box. The referee waves play on as it was a blatant act of simulation. Will he be booked when there is a break in play? He should be.
    79'
    Tomasov chases down a lost cause but keeps it in. He attempts a trick but falls over under pressure from Whelan. The referee gives a free kick. Astonishing.

    Salif Diao replaces Jones who, despite not being at his best, has been absolutely everywhere tonight.
    77'
    Great play from Jones. He is the out ball that Huth finds. The striker takes it down on his chest but has nobody in support. He holds it up well before winning a throw-in deep in the Split half.

    Anas causes some problems yet again. He turns inside and out to open up some space before shooting from 18 yards. The shot is poor and flies over.
    75'
    Tomasov drills the free kick in towards the front post. Whelan clears. Stoke could do with some fresh legs out there.
    74'
    Good foul, if there is such a thing. He should be booked, Huth, but isn't. The defender is nutmegged and then holds his man off.
