Newcastle 1-2 Club Atlas – NUFC Match Ratings

8. Moussa Sissoko (Replaced By Ayoze Perez) - 6.5/10

United's biggest threat going forward. Same old from Moussa who went on a number of lung-bursting runs to haul his team up the field before failing to find that final ball that would have seen United get the draw they more than deserved on the night. The French international did get a lovely finish to his name on the stroke of half time to half the deficit, as he kept his composure to slide the ball under the advancing keeper.

Ayoze Perez - 6.5/10

Not given too much time to put his stamp on the game, but full of running, as ever, coupled with that little bit of quality he can offer which not too many of United's other attackers can. A couple of efforts on goal was your lot from the Spaniard, although he did chase down a lost cause in the corner, stole the ball from an Atlas defender before seeing his cross plucked from the air by the Mexican side's keeper in one of the moments of the match. A good night's work.
