Sporting Lisbon beat Newcastle 4 -2 on aggregate!

I thought Newcastle was going ton have a long run in the UEFA cup but unfortunately Sporting Lisbon won 4-2 on aggregate in the end! Sporting lost last week's first leg 1-0 and fell further behind after 20 minutes in Lisbon.

Kieron Dyer put Newcastle ahead against the run of play as Sporting's attempts to make up its one-goal deficit from the first leg left gaps in defense. Dyer picked up a loose ball just outside the home team's area and slotted it through goalkeeper Ricardo Pereira's legs.

Joao Moutinho then forced a spectacular save from Shay Given with a volley, and Dyer hit another shot just wide at the other end.

It was a game of missed chances with both Dyer and Bowyer missing chances to score in the game and in the end Graeme Souness blaimed the Magpies bad luck for the defeat!
