Newcastle United secured a 2-1 victory over Valencia in a pre-season friendly match, providing a positive start for new manager Matthias Jaissle. The match saw Newcastle overcome an initial deficit to win the game, with forward Yoane Wissa playing a pivotal role by scoring both of the team's goals.

The match was notable for being Jaissle’s first game in charge of the club. While the result was a win for Newcastle, the circumstances of the game differed slightly in the reporting. Sky Sports highlighted that Valencia was reduced to 10 men during the contest, a detail not explicitly mentioned in the BBC Sport report. Both outlets focused on the performance of individual players, with BBC Sport providing a breakdown of player ratings, while Sky Sports emphasized the nature of the win as a comeback victory.

Despite the different focus areas, both sources agree on the core outcome: a 2-1 win for Newcastle and a successful managerial debut for Jaissle. The game serves as part of Newcastle's ongoing tour preparations ahead of the upcoming season.
