Match Report: from www.uefa.com
Newcastle United FC overcame a determined SC Heerenveen side with a 2-1
second-leg victory at St. James' Park to match their triumph in the Netherlands
last week and book their place in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup.
The Dutch side had their work cut out once Michel Breuer's own goal had
put Newcastle further ahead on aggregate. Alan Shearer doubled the home side's
lead and even though Arnold Bruggink pulled one back for the visitors, it is
Graeme Souness's side who will face Olympiacos over two legs next month.
Kieron Dyer recovered from flu to start in midfield with Lee Bowyer
suspended after his dismissal last week. Patrick Kluivert was suffering from
a thigh strain, and Souness was also without Robbie Elliott (knee). Influential
Polish midfield player Arek Radomski returned to the Heerenveen lineup having
missed the first leg through illness.
The visitors started strongly, Klass Jan Huntelaar forcing a good save
from Shay Given on eight minutes, striking powerfully from the edge of the
penalty area. But the evening took an ominous turn for the visitors two minutes
later when Breuer turned a low cross from Laurent Robert, who had been released
by Shearer's excellent flick, into his own net.
Newcastle became even more comfortable a quarter of an hour later when
captain Shearer smashed a low free-kick which goalkeeper Brian Vanderbussche
could only palm into the net. The Belgian keeper had looked nervous under
almost relentless pressure, and the onslaught continued right up until half
time.
Dyer made way for Jermaine Jenas at the break, displaying Newcastle's
superior strength in depth, and the home side dictated the pace of the game
for much of the second half. But there was a glimmer of hope for Heerenveen
with eleven minutes remaining as Shola Ameobi briefly turned defender in his
own area, challenging substitute Marcel Seip in the air and only succeeding
in handling the ball. Bruggink made no mistake from the penalty spot.
Suddenly it looked as if the Dutch team could get back into the tie -
Victor Sikora fired in a fine volley from a Ugur Yildirim corner which Ameobi
cleared and Mika Vayrynen went close at the death. But it was too little, too
late for the outclassed Eredivise outfit.
