- Highlights
90+4'
FULL-TIME: Benfica 3-1 Newcastle. The hosts take a commanding first-leg lead after two goals in five second-half minutes turned the game on its head.
90+3'
Ameobi looking to make a nuisance of himself in the area ... but the flag is up and it looks like it's all over here.
90+2'
It's all Newcastle in these dying stages but they don't actually look like scoring.
90+1'
Krul launches a free-kick into the Benfica area as Newcastle push for a second goal.
90'
Four minutes of added time.
89'
Lima shoots from distance... way off target.
88'
It's already a huge task for Newcastle as it stands. Scoring two goals at home against this side will be tough enough - but keeping out a side packed full of attacking talent will be even tougher.
87'
Ameobi booked for pushing Gaitan. It certainly wasn't as bad as the Benfica man made out.
86'
Newcastle stuck in two minds here - do they stick or twist? Another away goal would be huge for them...
85'
Santon shoots - just wide of the near post. How he'd love to get one back after his error for the second goal.
84'
Benfica take a short corner but Cisse tracks back and battles well before winning a goal kick.
83'
NEWCASTLE sub: Dan Gosling on for the injured Simpson.
81'
Newcastle sub: Marveaux replaced by Ameobi who is making his 50th European appearance.
80'
Gaitan flicks it on but Matic heads into the side netting.
79'
Pereira sneaks in down the right but tries to beat one too many and Cabaye concedes yet another corner.
78'
Benfica still on the front foot here. If they manage to nick a fourth it would be very, very diffiuclt for Newcastle, even at a heaving St James' Park.
77'
Benfica sub: Maxi Pereira on for Cardozo.
76'
Newcastle look to break and could be in here through Cisse.... but the flag is up. Surely not! Sissoko was yards on side there.
75'
Sensational run by Marveaux ends with a ball out wide to Cisse. The Sengal frontman cuts in from the right but his cut back to Sissoko is woeful and Benfica clear.
74'
Cabaye shoots but it's straight into the wall.
