Stoke's poor pre-season form continued on the tour of Austria on Friday night, when they tumbled to a 3-1 defeat by German outfit St Pauli.
Winger Max Kruse scored two for St Pauli in the first half.
Striker Dave Kitson gave the Potters a consolation before Nils Pichinot added another in injury time.
Earlier this month, Tony Pulis' troops got their pre-season campaign off to a disastrous start as two sides lost 2-1 at Newcastle Town and 2-0 at Nantwich.
