Events
Match Events

- 5' 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.

- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Celtic FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' The travelling SS Lazio supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Celtic FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 40' A goal from the Italy international Manuel Lazzari! He fires home on 40 to make it 0-1!
- 45' Celtic FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 50' Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, a Serbia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 55' Bastos has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 60' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 62' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mohamed Elyounoussi on 62.
- 66' Tom Rogic gets the nod from Celtic FC. He replaces Mohamed Elyounoussi and will look to change the dynamic.

- 82' 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 Senad Lulic suffering a number of foals already.
