Newcastle United are currently leading Qarabağ FK 3–2 in the return leg of the UEFA Champions League play-offs.
Sandro Tonali put Newcastle ahead in the fourth minute, reacting quickly to a rebound from a saved header. Just two minutes later, Joelinton doubled the hosts’ advantage with a volley from Harvey Barnes’ cross.
Qarabağ responded in the 51st minute through Camilo Durán, but Newcastle quickly restored their two-goal advantage when Sven Botman scored in the 52nd minute. The visitors struck again in the 57th minute with a goal from Elvin Jafarguliyev, while Marko Janković’s penalty in the same minute was saved by goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
Despite the scoreline, Qarabağ remain organised, looking for counter-attacking opportunities and showing the resilience that brought them to this historic stage of the competition.
Qarabağ are led by Gurban Gurbanov, while Newcastle are managed by Eddie Howe.
In the first leg on 18 February, Newcastle won 6‑1 in Baku, with Anthony Gordon scoring four goals and Malick Thiaw and Jacob Murphy also on the scoresheet. Elvin Jafarguliyev scored Qarabağ’s only goal, highlighting their competitive effort.
