20' - SUB S.C. Braga - OFF #20 Paulinho ON #10 Xadas

26' - Wilson skirts around the top of the Newcastle box and fires a shot off. Dubravka has the angle covered as it rockets off the far post and stays in play. Cleared.

31' - Braga with another chance. A header this time from short range with Dubravka rooted to the ground but cleared by ... Clark? It's low resolution here.

37' - Lascelles with a good challenge on Xadas who wants to have words with the Newcastle skipper afterward.

42' - Pérez attempts a lobbed ball over the top of the backline for a racing Atsu but the pass is too heavy. Goal kick Braga.

44' - Pérez attempts to send Gayle in on the goalkeeper after Braga's move from the back via Raul Silva gave up possession. Gayle just didn't read the play.

45' - Dubravka storms out of his box to make a clearance. It's now half time. 0-0.

INTERVALO! Er... Half time.

57' - Newcastle header on target, easily handled by the keeper and it turns into a chance for Braga at the other end.

60' - A short spell of passing and control from Newcastle results in a long ball easily held by Braga's keeper. Newcastle at 43% possession with the hour gone, two shots, one on target.

62' - Newcastle Sub - OFF #14 Hayden ON #4 Ki

65' - Braga Sub - OFF #10 Xadas ON #17 Novais

66' - Gayle goes in on the Braga goalkeeper Matheus who's about to clear a ball, connects with his leg and Matheus who goes down holding his ankle. Gayle surrounded by three Braga players as he makes his way back towards the bench. Keeper undergoing treatment as Newcastle grab a quick refreshment.

68' - Braga break into the box and Dubravka slides to the defenders feed grabbing the ball but it escapes and Braga manage to get the ball into a dangerous position but the subsequent attack results in nothing.

68' - Braga player Silva goes down in the box but there's no call. Free kick Newcastle.

69' - Newcastle free kick just over the half way line after Mo Diame is fouled. Fortunate timing as his pass had given the ball away to Braga. Again.

70' - Newcastle SUB - OFF 12 Dubravka - ON 26 Darlow

70' - Newcastle SUB - OFF 22 Yedlin - ON 19 Manquillo

74' - Diame is fouled and Newcastle have a free kick which Ki and Ritchie are lining up to take ten yards outside the box.

75' - Ki forces a save! First real chance for Newcastle. Rebound amounts to naught.

76' - Newcastle corner ball falls to the edge of the box to an advancing Newcastle player the chance is missed. The team break again with Joselu and Ritchie in support of Murphy. Joselu puts the ball in the back of the net but it's offside. No goal.

77' - GOAL BRAGA - Braga break and Newcastle are lost tracking back. Substitute Novais finishes an excellent cross in right past Darlow. SC Braga 2 - 0 Newcastle United. Hard to see a way back into this now but surely a consolation goal is a must.

'89 - Newcastle manage another shot on goal which forces a save. Braga advance down the other end of the field and score from the resulting counter attack.

89' - GOAL BRAGA - This isn't looking good. 4-0. At least it's not Leyton Orient again.

'90 - FT SC Braga 4 - 0 Newcastle United. The team was hopeless without Lascelles on the field.
