Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Celtic FC gets underway.
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' 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 Willi Orban suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Celtic FC that had 410 games and scored 790 goals.
- 20' It looks surprising RB Leipzig does not make any changes. Arne Engels has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 23' GOAL! Christoph Baumgartner scores on 23. Assisted by Kevin Kampl
- 28' 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.
- 33' 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.
- 35' Goal! Nicolas Kuhn scores his 18 goal in 540 matches.
- 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
- 45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alistair Johnston, as he is very good at scoring at Celtic Park with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 46' Sensational shot from Nicolas Kuhn. Celtic FC is back in the lead.
- 51' RB Leipzig started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
- 56' Greg Taylor needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 61' Amadou Haidara has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 62' RB Leipzig receives a card for a hard tackle on 62.
- 67' It is a substitution in Celtic FC team. Greg Taylor is replaced by Alex Valle on 67 minute.
- 68' The whistle greets Benjamin Sesko as he departs to be replaced by Yussuf Poulsen.
- 72' What a strike from Reo Hatate! The score is 3-1.
- 73' Another change for Celtic FC made on 73 minute. Cameron Carter-Vickers leaves to be changed by Liam Scales.
- 76' The whistle greets Christoph Baumgartner as he departs to be replaced by Assan Ouedraogo.
- 81' Celtic FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Adam Idah is hanging Kyogo Furuhashi on the field on 81 minute.
- 86' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- Another three points for Celtic FC.
