Full time: Coventry 4, Newcastle 1
— full time, Coventry win at a canter
COVCoventry turned the tie on its head, winning 4-1 at home after Rudoni converted a penalty in the sixth minute to open the scoring. Cherif doubled the lead early in the second half, and although Botman pulled one back for Newcastle at 70 minutes, Simms and Mfuni added goals for the hosts in the closing stages. Newcastle enjoyed 67.
Stephen Mfuni made it 4-1 in the 86th minute, finishing a move started by Jay Dasilva. With the score at 4-1 from that point, the goal settled the contest and gave Coventry a commanding margin late on.
Sven Botman pulled one back for Newcastle in the 70th minute, set up by Nico González Iglesias, to leave the visitors trailing 2-1. It was a goal that gave the away side a route back into a contest they had been chasing.
Sidiki Cherif doubled Coventry's advantage on 48 minutes, with the score now 2-0 against Newcastle. The goal gave the hosts a cushion early in the second half, and it is one they will feel they have earned.
Jack Rudoni rifled his spot-kick into the net in the sixth minute, giving Coventry the lead against Newcastle. The early breakthrough from twelve yards put the hosts in control from the outset.
