Newcastle United vs Olympiacos match highlights
Posted on July 28th, 2012 | 64 Comments |
Highlights from yesterday evening’s “Guadiana Torneo” match, which saw Newcastle United drawing 1-1 with Greek Super League champions, Olympiacos, at the Estádio Algarve, Faro, Portugal.
It was Steven Taylor who opened the scoring for the Magpies after 25 minutes on his return from a very long injury layoff. However, Kostas Mitroglou levelled for Olympiacos in the 79th minute, even though they were down to ten men after Francois Modesto was sent off five minutes beforehand for receiving two yellow cards. This meant that the match went to penalties. I won’t tell the result of the penalties if you haven’t seen them yet, but don’t look below if you want to watch them first!
I will try to post a video of the whole game later on if there is one available.

Poll
Did i miss something ?
Who the hell is Paul Dummet ?
and why are we playing mostly backup players, is this not the time to get some co-ordination to-gether for the side that will open the season ?
