Marseille vs Newcastle United, 2nd Leg Marseille win 2-0 on aggregate

1. 90'

   A better showing from Newcastle in the second half saw them get into the game but they were never able to unlock a very solid and physically strong Marseille defence. And the more Newcastle went in search of the equaliser that would have put them through, the more dangerous the home side looked on the break. In Didier Drogba Marseille had the game's outstanding talent and he has now scored in every round of the competition. A French side deservedly comes out on top against an English one again

2. 90'

   Whistle sounds and it is Marseille who go through to the final of the Uefa cup and, on tonights showing, they deserve it

3. 89'

   Man-of-the-match Didier Drogba is substituted and leaves the field to tumultuous acclaim - they know he is a bit special

4. 88'

   Word has come through that champagne has already been delivered to the Marseille dressing room. No chance of that blowing up in their face. They are through and Newcastle are out

5. 87'

   Drogba continues to show grace, poise, power and pace. Glides past three Newcastle defenders in a solo run from the half way line and the shot is going in until Given turns it away from his near post. Quality run that underlines Drogba's talents. He has been sensational tonight

6. 86'

   The party has begun already in the Stade Velodrome as a sea of blue and white erupts into song

7. 85'

   Newcastle throwing everything forward now and Bowyer gets in to a crossing position but spoons it over the bar when others were very well placed

8. 84'

   Batlles takes the free kick but he cant keep it down as he tries to curl it towards the far corner

9. 83'

   Ball over the top sees Drogba looking for his hat-trick. Looks like a fantastic sliding tackle from Bramble on the corner of the box to deny him the chance but the referee views it as a foul

10. 82'

    One from the training ground. Two Marseille men run across the face of goal before a simple square ball picks out Drogba, now in plenty of space. Assured finish from around the penalty spot makes it 2-0 and ends this tie as a contest.

11. 81'

    Batlles into the action early and works his way down the right flank before he is fouled to earn a free kick out wide level with the six yard box

12. 80'

    Marlet goes off to be replaced by Laurent Batles

13. 78'

    Bedlam as Bowyer - surprise, surprise - is at the centre of some handbags. Really nasty challenge from the substitute and he is rightly booked for it. Bernard tells him to use his head - would make a nice change

14. 77'

    Glorious chance for Newcastle as a deep cross looks tailor made for Shearer coming in at the back but Ameobi inexplicably takes it and heads across the box. Speed swings at it but he is facing the wrong way and misses by a couple of feet

15. 76'

    Marlet on the right suges forward well but his low cross is nowhere near its intended target of Drogba

16. 75'

    Very evenly poised now with Newcastle carrying a better goal threat and having kept Marseille to one goal

17. 74'

    A nasty challenge from Flamini in Shearer earns the Frenchman a justified yellow card

18. 72'

    Panic in the Marseille penalty area as Barthez takes three attempts to collect a cross - the third after he had slapped the ball away from Ambrose's feet while the keeper is prostrate

19. 71'

    O'Brien takes a smack in the face as he challenges for an aerial ball

20. 70'

    Robert's delivery is very poor just at a time when it needs to be at it's best

21. 69'

    Ambrose does well in his tussle with Dos Santos as the pair compete for a long ball down the right channel. Worries the defender enough for him to concede a corner

22. 68'

    Newcastle have been much more positive and lively in this second period but the physically powerful Marseille defenders have coped with everything so far

23. 67'

    Shearer goes wide and flings a cross over towrds Ameobi who has a couple of handfulls of Flamini's shirt and still can't get there. Free kick to Marseille

24. 66'

    Bowyer throw to Shearer in the box. He doesn't control it and the defender behind him seems to stop the ball with his elbow. Muted appeals as Shearer has a crack with the ricochet but is off target

25. 65'

    The ineffectual Viana makes way for Lee Bowyer
