Newcastle United opened the Champions League playoff clash against Qarabag with attacking intent, carving open the Azerbaijani side early in the match. Joe Willock ran through the middle before setting up Harvey Barnes, who forced a corner with his effort.
Qarabag responded with their own attacks, working the ball well on the left flank before Joni Montiel saw his attempt blocked. The match continues with both teams looking to gain an advantage ahead of the second leg.
