Match Report

First-Half
lalalaoln kicks off

6th - Michael Owen shows signs off rustiness when he misses a clear chance when Joey Barton sets him up but he slots it pass the left hand side of the post. Unlucky

12th - Oh! What an effort from Joey Barton, he shoots just on the half way line but lalalaoln's goalkeeper just manages to catch the ball

16th - Jonas Gutierrez shows his skills when he dribble past 3 lalalaoln players and shot it at a tight angle, good try from the Argentine.

18th - Joey Barton misses a great opportunity when he fires wide in the 18 yard box

23rd - lalalaoln's Radu dribbles past Enrique and Charles N'Zogbia and had a clear shot on goal but Shay Given was Newcastle's savior for that moment.

30th - GOAL! Michael Owen recieves a great ball from Danny Guthrie and finishes it in the bottom left corner of the net, this is what you call a great finish!

0-1

36th - Unlucky! Jonas Gutierrez crosses a beautiful curling ball right into Martins but he headed it wide

37th - GOAL! lalalaoln's Novakovic was unmarked as he ran towards goal and slots it pass Shay Given. Newcastle's defense was terrible there.

1-1

The referee blows for half time as the players go through the tunnel for the half-time team talk

Second-Half
Subsitution: N'Zogbia out, Duff In

Newcastle kicks off

52nd - Martins dribble past the midfield of lalalaoln but it was their defenders who tackled the ball away.

57th - GOAL! Novakovic adds another goal to his tally when he finishes into the bottom of the goal, poor defending again from Newcastle.

2-1

65th - What a shot from Novakovic, nearly a hat-trick but Shay Given did what he was suppose to do when he blocked it out for a corner

Subsitution: Enrique out, Bassong In

79th - Martins could have made it 2 - 2 but it was lalalaoln goalkeeper blocked the shot away for a corner

90th - Quiet game until Newcastle had a chance to get a last minute goal but Barton's shot was just a little too weak to test the goalkeeper

Full time whistle blows as Newcastle lose to newly promoted side lalalaoln
