Match report
Newcastle lost their third consecutive pre-season-friendly friendship on Wednesday, with 1-0 beaten by an impressive K League XI in South Korea.
A miserable evening was also worsened late when Joe Willock was stretched with an apparent ankle injury, which contributed to an ever -frustrating summer for Eddie Howe.
The Magpies had mentioned a similar XI as the one who lost 3-2 to Arsenal during the weekend, but were without a number of regular first team players, including Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes – who were on the couch – and the absent Alexander Isak.
It might be a comfort for Newcastle, which seemed a step behind their opponents everywhere. The K League is located in the middle of their domestic season, where the amalgamated team looks sharper in the future.
Dong-Gyeong Lee was the star of the K League XI in the first half, with countless opportunities, but the summer of Newcastle signed Anthony Elanga also went close to the first shot of the Magpies to the goal. His effort, however, was put on the bar on the bar by the goalkeeper.
The K League made the earned breakthrough in the 36th minute. Jin-Gyu Kim kept his left cooling and found his space before he arrived an attempt in the upper far corner.
Although the hosts still looked dangerously during the break, Newcastle had the opportunities better in the second half, but could not find the equalizer.
WILL OSULA – The only senior striker in the team in the absence of Isak – had a series of missed opportunities that sent efforts to the goalkeeper or shoots wide. Leave, Anthony Gordon also tried an attempt past the function.
The evening of Newcastle got worse on the battle of the 90 minutes when Willock, while taking a challenge with Cesinha, took a blow to the ankle. He immediately called on the doctors as he held his foot before he was picked up on a stretcher.
The result will fall as a huge victory for the South Korean side, while Newcastle has added a loss to their list in recent weeks after Celtic and Arsenal defeats. They then play Tottenham in Seoul on Sunday.
