Slowly they began to find a route through and around the home side’s midfield, and when they did, their own quick players began to harass PSG. After weathering the early explosion of PSG power, Newcastle should have scored in the twelfth minute. Almiron robbed Hakimi of the ball on the left and when he crossed to the near post, Isak should have done better than to shoot over from about six yards out. Twelve minutes later Isak did score.
Once again direct running and pace played a big role as Livramento drove hard down the pitch and laid the ball to Almiron. The Paraguayan tapped in and curled a shot across.
