AFC Champions League Elite
Patrick Wood’s two first-half penalties were cancelled out by a brace from Marco Tulio and strikes from Hisashi Appiah Tawiah, Alex Negueba and Rafael Elias to give Ranko Popovic’s men their second win and consign the Australian side to a third straight defeat.
The home side’s Tulio should have aimed better to secure the opening goal in the third minute when, after exchanging passes with Rafael Elia, he burst down the middle unhindered but then shot straight at keeper James Delianov.
Delianov’s counterpart Halls also did well to cover the right post to thwart Weverton’s strike from outside the six-yard box in the eighth minute, but the same attack also saw Zane Schreiber’s cross into the area strike Takaaki Shichi on the arm.

Newcastle were awarded a penalty after a VAR review, and Wood made no mistake from the spot, sending Halls the wrong way as he blasted into the top left to give his side the lead in the 13th minute.
Delianov ensured his side’s advantage in the 32nd minute with consecutive saves, the first one-handed to palm away Rafael Elias’s close-range header and the second with his legs a minute later to deny Tulio’s attempt from outside the six-yard box.

Play again turned in Newcastle’s favour when they were awarded another penalty in the 43rd minute, with Shichi again the culprit for a foul on Joseph Lolley. Wood duly stepped up for the second time and drove his spot-kick to the right past a rooted Halls.
Kyoto, however, cut down the Australian outfit’s advantage six minutes into time added on when Tawiah half-volleyed Shichi’s corner into the bottom right to give his side a fighting chance heading into the break.

The J League 1 side intensified their efforts after the restart and were rewarded in the 56th minute as Tulio’s deceptive free-kick struck teammate Negueba, rolled past the wall and past a flat-footed Delianov.
Kyoto promptly added a third four minutes later when Tulio first-timed Negueba’s lofted cross from the right, the Brazilian’s strike curling past the Newcastle keeper and into the bottom right.

An unmarked Elias lashed in goal number four from inside the area in the 67th minute after Kyo Sato’s attempt rebounded off substitute Haruki Arai and into the path of the Kyoto skipper, whose goal was confirmed after a VAR review.
Negueba wrapped up the amazing comeback in the 84th minute when he came down the middle, picked up a pass from Masaya Okugawa and lifted the ball over Delianov, who had come off his line.
