Newcastle United have reached the last 32 of the Europa League thanks to a 1-1 draw with Maritimo at St James' Park.
Sylvain Marveaux gave the home side a first-half lead, but Philipe Fidelis's late strike was enough to earn the Portuguese visitors a share of the spoils.

Davide Santon had a good opportunity early on for the hosts, but his low effort forced the save from Romain Salin.
Newcastle eventually made the breakthrough with 23 minutes on the clock as Marveaux converted from a tight angle following Hatem Ben Arfa's pass.
However, a decent first half for the home side was hampered in the final few minutes as Ben Arfa was forced off with what looked like a hamstring injury.
Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul was called into action at the start of the second half when he pushed away Danilo Dias's drive.
The Brazilian had another crack at goal on the hour, but this time his shot flashed wide.
The visitors managed to snatch an equaliser with 10 minutes remaining as Fidelis was given time to run at the Newcastle goal before slotting in.
