grimaldo breaks newcastle hearts late as leverkusen snatches 22 champions league draw

Alejandro Grimaldo left it painfully late at the BayArena, firing home in the 88th minute to rescue a 2-2 UEFA Champions League draw for Bayer Leverkusen against Newcastle United.

What looked set to be a famous away win for the Magpies turned into pure frustration as the Spaniard's cool finish wiped out their second-half comeback, making it their second 2-2 draw in three games after that frustrating 2-2 Premier League draw with Tottenham

The result also stretched Newcastle's poor run against German opposition to four games without a win, while keeping Leverkusen's top-eight hopes alive. The result came as a shock to most fans even Softfootball predicted a 2-1 Newcastle win in the prematch report analysis.
