Bojan inspires Stoke City to victory

New signing Bojan scores his third goal in as many pre-season games as Stoke City beat Real Betis 2-0.

Goals from Erik Pieters and Bojan gave Stoke City a 2-0 win over Real Betis in a pre-season friendly at the Britannia Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Left-back Pieters gave Mark Hughes's side the lead on the half-hour mark, when he slid in at the back post to turn home Phil Bardsley's low cross.

New signing Bojan marked his third goal in as many games shortly before the break when he slipped by a challenge before hitting the top corner from the edge of the box.

Peter Odemwingie should have extended the lead after the restart, but the Nigerian international could only head over the bar from close range.

Bojan, who was given a standing ovation after he was brought off for Peter Crouch late on, then teed up teammate Marc Muniesa on the left, but the former Barcelona defender couldn't finish the effort off after his shot was blocked by goalkeeper Dani Gimenez.
