  • 32' Celtic FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering PAE AEK that had 130 games and scored 49 goals.
  • 42' Supporters expect more eagerness from Helder Lopes, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

  • 64' Celtic FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Leigh Griffiths is hanging Tom Rogic on the field on 64 minute.
  • 66' The PAE AEK manager makes a substitution. Tasos Bakasetas departs to be replaced by Alef.

  • 80' Fresh legs for PAE AEK! Rodrigo Galo comes on to replace Viktor Klonaridis.
  • 85' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Rodrigo Galo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Celtic FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • It finishes all square. Celtic FC and PAE AEK share the spoils 1-1.
