Yoane Wissa made his first ever Champions League appearance on Wednesday evening as Newcastle United took on PSV.
The seventh round in the Swiss league phase of this 2025/26 Champions League competition.
Yoane Wissa played the first 72 minutes before being replaced by Nick Woltemade.
At that moment the match was won.
Harvey Barnes provided a quality finish in the 65th minute and PSV threw in the towel as Newcastle United cruised to a 3-0 win.
The damage was already done in the first half hour, as Eddie Howe’s side raced into a 2-0 lead.
Yoane Wissa scored the first goal and then got an assist for Anthony Gordon’s second goal, with the former Brentford player almost grabbing a second own goal.
What a Champions League debut!
Yoane Wissa named Player of the Match.
While the UEFA Technical Observer Group explains why: “Yoane Wissa was involved in influencing the match outcome, with one goal and one assist. He was important in Newcastle’s playing style, providing individual and unit pressure to create forced errors from the opposition.”
