Elliott Dickman's young
Magpies rounded off their week-long Spanish training camp with a notable
friendly success against Primera Liga opposition.
Scoreless at the interval, Elche restarted the game with an
entire new XI while Newcastle changed all but one of their line-up - Joe
White having replaced Callum Ferguson during the first half.
The black and whites established a 50th
minute lead when substitute Michael Nidweni dispossessed a dawdling
opponent before drawing the goalkeeper and confidently firing home.
An offside flag then chalked off a 55th minute reply from fellow
replacement Mojica, before Elche levelled with 20 minutes remaining
through a glancing header by Chilean defender Enzo Roco following a
Morentes corner.
The Magpies then won it in the 79th minute when Joe White ending a
surging run with a low shot beyond replacement goalkeeper Axel Werner.
