	Newcastle United Football Club - Match reports - Sporting Lisbon (h)
		The goal that divided the teams and saw Sporting repeat their 1992 St.James' pre -season tournament success came on 33 minutes when Chilean midfielder Rodrigo Tello's sweet shot eluded Harper in the Gallowgate end goal.
		We did finally begin to get the ball within sight of the visiting goal after the break, but a header over the bar from Shearer and a blocked Bowyer shot were the closest we came until four minutes from the end, when Kluivert's looping header was blocked on the goalline by a defender.
		So Lisbon - who should now be known as Unsporting after their play-acting antics - took the inaugural NewcastleGateshead hub cap, sorry Cup while Kieron Dyer was voted man of the tournament - an utterly inexplicable choice after his aimless 50 minute contribution to this sorry spectacle.

		Sporting were not about to sit back and accept their fate, and with Fabio Rochemback and Paulo Tinga dominating in central midfield, they continued to make the running, although without working Shay Given.
		Sporting were still moving the ball well and Newcastle looking dangerous on the counter, and with everything to play for, the tension was mounting.

		Still on loan from Newcastle, Viana was deployed in a midfield seemingly taken aback by the sheer zeal and tenacity of Boro's Doriva and Bolo Zenden, who persistently denied Sporting the space required to weave their customary passing web.
		Apparently unable to play more directly, Lisbon lacked a Plan B. McClaren must have wished Mark Viduka was around to run on to some of Zenden's passes but the Australian is raising eyebrows by making a perplexingly slow recovery from back and hamstring injuries which have kept him out of Boro's bleak midwinter.
		That said, as the clock wound down, Sporting knew that the odds were increasingly against Boro winning by the two clear goals needed to reach the quarter-finals.
