Half-Time Report: Maritimo 0-0 Newcastle United

Newcastle United and Maritimo have gone in goalless at the break in tonight's Europa League encounter in Portugal.

The home side came close to breaking the deadlock after 10 minutes but Rob Elliot did well to save Sami's volley.

The Newcastle goalkeeper was called into action again soon after, this time dealing with David Simao's effort.

The visitors then hit the woodwork twice in as many minutes as Shola Ameobi and Dan Gosling both saw their efforts come back off the post.
