EINDHOVEN, Netherlands -- Saul Niguez scored late in the first half Tuesday as last seasons losing Champions League finalist Atletico Madrid opened this seasons campaign with a tense 1-0 win at PSV Eindhoven.The match in Eindhoven was a repeat of last years Champions League round of 16 clash that Atletico won on penalties in Madrid after both legs ended 0-0.Tuesdays match never looked like finishing goalless with both teams pressing forward in their Group D opener.Luuk de Jong looked to have given his team the lead in the fifth minute but referee Martin Atkinson disallowed the PSV captains headed effort, apparently because of a push by Hector Moreno as he headed the ball back to De Jong.We scored a perfectly good goal that was disallowed, PSV coach Phillip Cocu said.Saul broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute when he calmly fired a left foot volley just inside the post after PSV failed to clear a corner.PSV could have leveled in first-half injury time after Luciano Narsingh fell in the area and was fortunate to be awarded a penalty, but Jan Oblak dived to his left to block Andres Guardados spot kick. PSV has now missed six of its last nine penalties.Cocu also lamented a decision by the match officials not to allow midfielder Davy Proepper back onto the field in time to take the penalty because he had blood on his shirt from a head injury.Diego Simeones side looked happy to protect its lead after the break, with Tiago coming on for Nicolas Gaitan in the 61st to play a holding midfield role.PSV substitute Gaston Pereiro had a great chance to equalize in injury time but directed his free header straight at Oblak.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cam Newton got the phone call he wanted.NFL commissioner Roger Goodell spoke via telephone with Newton about the Carolina quarterbacks concerns over not being protected by game officials from hits while in the pocket, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.The phone call came Tuesday, but its unclear exactly what they discussed.The person spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the details of the meeting were not disclosed.NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy declined comment.Newton criticized league officials after Carolinas 30-20 win over Arizona on Sunday, saying that he doesnt feel safe in the pocket because officials are treating him differently than other QBs in the league by not throwing flags when he takes an illegal hit.He said after the game he planned to talk to Goodell about his concerns.Newton said he reached his breaking point came when Cardinals defensive tackle Calais Campbell tackled him below the knees as he released the football.Campbell was not penalized.It was reminiscent of the hit that sidelined New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for the season in 2008.I could have torn my ACL, Newton said Sunday.Newtons frustrations come from numerous hits through this career and added that enough is enough.I dont think theres a person that can go through what I go through and keep their head, you know what Im sayying?

I was disappointed it wasnt called. But I get the benefit of looking up at the screen and seeing it on replay. It confirmed what I thought. Its difficult. Youd like to see those calls made. Id love to see our quarterback get those calls.Newton said he is tired of hearing officials tell him they missed a call.I just cant keep accepting, `Oh, we missed that one, or `I apologize for doing that or `I didnt see it, Newton said. Thats horse c---. Coming from a person whos been fined before, coming from a person who everybodys expecting a lot from, Im still going. But yet, when you constantly see the hits, when you constantly see flags being picked up and flags not being thrown, and to see other quarterbacks getting it for lesser physical hits, its taking the fun for me out.Im just being honest about that.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
