Sportsnight - Newcastle in Europe: Newcastle v Ferencvaros

on BBC One London

Live coverage of the UEFA Cup second-round, second-leg match between Newcastle and Hungary's Ferencvaros at St James' Park.

Kevin Keegan will be hoping that his star-studded line-up will qualify for the third round, despite their 3-2 defeat in the first leg, improving on their UEFA Cup performance of two years ago when they were knocked out at this stage by Athletic Bilbao of Spain. But the Hungarian champions' powerful second-round, first-leg tie in Budapest left Newcastle's European ambitions on a knife-edge.

Ferencvaros are one of European football's celebrated names and the team won their 26th league title last year, although they failed to qualify for this year's Champions' League when they lost to Gothenburg. But the Magpies will be looking for some home comfort tonight and aiming to reach the last 16 of this competition.
Commentary by John Motson with Trevor Brooking. Introduced by Desmond Lynam with Alan Hansen and Chris Waddle.
