After their Portuguese hosts usually ran riot in the second half the Magpies face an incredible check in their home Europa League quarter-final second-leg. Yet the post was hit by Cisse twice before the assault. And Toon chef Alan Pardew will be discouraged at the way in which his part wilted under pressure. Clever PAPI... Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse responds quickly for his early operator Striker Cisse found his breakaway target cancelled out by Rodgrio's scrambled effort midway via an even first period. Then alternative Lima punished Davide Santon's surprising backpass on 65 minutes and Oscar Cardozo's twice-taken punishment doubled Benfica's quick cause. Moussa Sissoko had shocked Benfica by peaking a 12th minute break with right-wing combination slotted home by Cisse on the post. Then, if the Magpies again found the Portuguese leaders on the counter-attack, Cisse almost netted an imitation goal from the alternative flank, now from Jonas Gutierrez's middle. Cisse's low chance deflected off Ezequiel Garay into the post before keeper Arture got it on the line. CISSE BLISS... Their breakthrough is celebrated by toon players Hardly 60 seconds later, though, Benfica bagged a leveller. Recalled Toon owner Tim Krul forced Oscar Cardozo's organization travel to the course of ex-Bolton frontman Rodrigo, who swept house from ten yards. If Krul was somewhat responsible for that goal he deserved nothing but the greatest compliment immediately after for an excellent close-range double save your self from Andre Gomes and Ola John. IN YOU GET... His leveller is watched by benfica hitman Rodrigo Cisse broke obvious on the left, soon after the break, to show over the developing Arture but off the proper post. But Benfica's energy snowballed, forcing Newcastle deeper and deeper. YOU LUCKY ROD... Benfica scorer Rodrigo likes his equaliser And Santon's casual cross across goal on 65 minutes enabled substitute Lima to throw the hosts ahead, after dark stuck Krul, from extensive on the best. LIMA OF HOPE... Benfica sub Lima places the hosts in-front Then, six minutes later, Stephen Taylor's needless handball in the middle of the box gave Cardozo the possiblity to give Benfica an ominous-looking 3-1 advantage from the location. ZO EASY... Oscar Cardozo finishes Benfica's 3-1 gain from the location STAR MAN - LIMA (Benfica) NEWCASTLE: Krul 6, Simpson 6 (Gosling 5), S Taylor 5, Yanga-Mbiwa 6, Santon 4, Cabaye 6, Perch 6 (Anita 5), Marveaux 7 (Ameobi 5), Sissoko 7, Gutierrez 6, Cisse 7.
