Mainz vs Newcastle

Kieran Trippier – 6 (60, replaced by Krafth). Looks back to full fitness after a lengthy injury last season after joining Newcastle. Unlucky not to see a free- ...

Lovely cross into Murphy to score inside six-yard box, but he fluffed his lines. Poor pass to Joelinton during break in second half. But at times, the ex-Lyon man did struggle to get involved as much as Longstaff. Nevertheless, when given the chance, he did well. Schar is fighting to partner Botman come the start of the season. The Toon captain for the game was aggressive, and looked sharp. Having replaced Nick Pope off the bench last time out, Dubravka started.

All the latest from Austria as Eddie Howe's side take on Bundesliga outfit Mainz 05 in their third pre-season game of the summer.

Kieran Trippier and Fabian Schar stood over the ball but it was the former who took the set-piece, with his effort on goal deflected over for a corner. Mainz with back-to-back corners as they look for the first goal of the game NUFC want the opening goal before half-time and are putting the pressure on now. The Newcastle XI stays the same as the players return for the second-half. Newcastle break and Ryan Fraser has acres of space in the middle of the park. But the first-time shot is awful and flies over the bar without troubling the Mainz stopper. It's full-time and NUFC have lost 1-0 to Mainz despite controlling much of the game! Burgzorg found himself in acres of space as a clever through ball breaks the NUFC defence following a quick interception by Mainz. Fans are on the pitch and surrounding the likes of Saint-Maximin to get autographs and selfies... ASM dazzles down the left and manages to cut the ball back for Shelvey, who has so much time on his hands. With due respect to those sides, this is likely to be a step-up in competition however, with Bundesliga outfit Mainz offeing a stern test for United. Eddie Howe has spoken of the pre-season fitness schedule, which is put to the test in games.
