Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Celtic FC and FC Red Bull Salzburg get this one started.
  • 5' Stefan Lainer has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 15' Callum McGregor needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 3 Red cards this season.
  • 19' A moment of madness from Jerome Onguene on 19 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Red Bull Salzburg will be frustrated.
  • 21' Fresh legs for Celtic FC! Kristoffer Ajer comes on to replace Mikael Lustig.
  • 26' Supporters expect more eagerness from Takumi Minamino, as he is very good at scoring at Celtic Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 31' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 36' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 41' Celtic FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Red Bull Salzburg backline.
  • 46' Scott Brown gets the nod from Celtic FC. He replaces Scott Sinclair and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 51' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
  • 58' Time for substitution for Celtic FC. Ryan Christie is replaced by Jules Ntcham.
  • 63' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 67' Munas Dabbur adds to his 0 season tally! FC Red Bull Salzburg lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 72' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Celtic FC and FC Red Bull Salzburg are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 74' A tactical swap from FC Red Bull Salzburg — Fredrik Gulbrandsen on, Takumi Minamino off on 74 minutes.
  • 78' Fredrik Gulbrandsen doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 80' The FC Red Bull Salzburg manager makes a substitution. Enock Mwepu departs to be replaced by Christoph Leitgeb.
  • 85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jerome Onguene made 225 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 87' Andre Ramalho has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 87.
  • 88' Filip Benkovic picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 90' The Cameroon Jules Ntcham breaks the deadlock on 90 minutes. 1-2!
  • 90' Another change for FC Red Bull Salzburg made on 90 minute. Munas Dabbur leaves to be changed by Smail Prevljak.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
