The referee showed Nico Gonçalves the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 90 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for NEWCASTLE!

Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
