Benfica 3-2 Newcastle in Friendly Match

The match is over in Portugal. Benfica wins the Eusébio Cup with Araujo's last minute goal. Great match we have witnessed today. Benfica 3-2 Newcastle

Goooool for Benfica. Araujo's goal can put an end to the Eusébio Cup if Newcastle doesn't draw. Yaremchuk got into the kitchen and gave him a back pass for Araujo to score with an empty goal.

Joelinton is sent off. He sees the second yellow card after giving a stomp to Florentino. The player was very intense and in the end will not finish the match. Newcastle are down to 10 men.

The Newcastle player is lying on the pitch. The medical assistants are on the pitch.

Newcastle are moving the ball. They are looking for passes behind the defense. Now Benfica is doing the same but without success.

End of the first half. We reached the 45th minute and with it the break. At the moment the match is tied with 2-2 on the scoreboard. What an entertaining match we are watching

Newcastle's goal. Once again the Trippier-Almiron connection worked wonders. The right back set the ball to Almiron who with a shot to the post with his left foot scored the equalizer.

How well the Newcastle defender crossed to block Rafa's shot. He blocked perfectly. Still 2.1 on the scoreboard

What a great goal by Grimaldo. He shot a long free-kick and put it into the left corner of the Newcastle goalkeeper's net. Benfica take the lead again. 2-1.

What Wilson did. He tried to dribble past Odysseas but the keeper held on well and snatched the ball away. What a missed chance

Almirón's goal. Goal for Newcastle. The visitors equalize the match. Great play by Trippier who crossed low and Almiron was alone inside the box and scored the goal. Benfica's defense relaxed a lot
