Newcastle United dominated the early exchanges against Qarabag in their Champions League playoff first leg. Joe Willock broke through the middle before setting up Harvey Barnes, who forced a corner with an effort that went just wide of the keeper's left post.
Qarabag responded with their own attacking moves, working the ball well on the left flank before Joni Montiel's effort was blocked, resulting in a corner for the Azerbaijani side. The match remains evenly contested as both teams look to gain the upper hand ahead of the second leg.
