Dannen Francis shoots over from the edge of the box following more good play from the Seasiders.

Arnold Matshazi has the ball in the back of the net for a second time as he lobs the keeper, but the flag is up for offside.

Great finish, mind.

Almost a second for Pool as Joe Strawn’s fierce drive deflects up towards the top corner, but Max Thompson gets over to make the save.

22 - GOAL BLACKPOOL!

Arnold Matshazi beats the offside trap to latch onto a sublime through-ball before slipping the ball past keeper Max Thompson.

Blackpool lead!

Jake Daniels flashes a ball across the face of the six-yard box, just eluding Dannen Francis at the back post. Close for Blackpool.

The Seasiders string two or three good passes together and force another corner. The move also earns the applause of the supporters.

Joe Strawn is sent through down the left for Blackpool. Max Thompson rushes out of the Newcastle and gets to the ball first...just.

Newcastle have turned the screw in the last few moments. They’ve forced another corner.

The game’s first shot falls to Newcastle’s Jay Turner-Cooke, whose curling effort from outside the box is well tipped over by Alec McLachlan.

Newcastle have begun to come back into it a little in the last few minutes. It’s been a cagey opening otherwise.
