Newcastle manager Glenn Roeder said
“We have got
an away goal and a clean sheet, which was vital. The first-half
performance was very good but in the second half we did not look as
sharp as you would expect. Five or six players looked tired with 20
minutes to go which is unusual. But when we had to defend, we defended a
lot better than we have been.“ |

Match Report: |
|
| |
Antoine Sibierski scored on his
Newcastle debut as the Magpies won the first leg of their Uefa Cup
first-round tie with Levadia Tallinn, 1-0 in Estonia. Sibierski met
Damien Duff's free-kick at the back post and his header bounced off
a defender and flew into the net.
The Magpies made a bright start and
should have scored more than the one goal they did manage in the opening
stages. Sibierski, who replaced the injured Shola Ameobi up front, was
perfectly placed in the fourth minute when Charles N'Zogbia's cross was
allowed to reach him in the box but shot wide from six yards out.
However, it was not long until the deadline-day signing from Manchester
City was on the scoresheet, the Frenchman leaping to reach Duff's
10th-minute free-kick and seeing his header somewhat fortuitously end up
in the net via a defender.
The Magpies looked shaky again at the back after the interval when
Voskoboinikov cut inside before forcing a fine save from Given, and
Vassilijev was first to the rebound only to miss the target by a mile.
But that was as good as it got for the Estonians, with Roeder's men
finding defensive solidity as the game wore on.
Levadia had plenty of possession in the closing stages but failed to
create a clear-cut opening and were reduced to shooting ineffectively
from distance by the end.
