Portsmouth win Asia Trophy as Torres, Benayoun miss from spot

Portsmouth have won the Asia Trophy, beating Liverpool 4-2 on penalties after the game had finished goalless.

Summer signings Fernando Torres, who only received international clearance to play before the game, and Yossi Benayoun both missed crucial penalties to hand Pompey the pre-season trophy in Hong Kong.

Steven Gerrard and Dirk Kuyt did convert for the Reds from the spot before Nico Kranjcar's strike past Jose Reina sealed victory for Harry Redknapp's side.
