Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Celtic Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Celtic FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' SS Lazio 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.
  • 12' Goal! Kyogo Furuhashi scores his 123 goal in 444 matches.
  • 17' Joe Hart needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 22' It looks surprising SS Lazio does not make any changes. Ivan Provedel has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 27' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 27 minutes.
  • 29' Goal! Matias Vecino scores his 24 goal in 485 matches.
  • 34' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SS Lazio that had 511 games and scored 574 goals.
  • 39' It’s high time Maurizio Sarri made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 44' Supporters expect more eagerness from Reo Hatate, as he is very good at scoring at Celtic Park with 20 goals in the last 15 games.
  • 45' Nathaniel Phillips is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
  • 50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SS Lazio needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 55' 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 Nathaniel Phillips suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 61' It’s a booking for SS Lazio player. Luis Alberto gets a Yellow card.
  • 62' The Celtic FC manager makes a substitution. Hyun-jun Yang departs to be replaced by Luis Palma.
  • 67' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Elseid Hysaj made 508 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 68' Gustav Isaksen is replacing Felipe Anderson for the SS Lazio side.
  • 72' SS Lazio manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Valentin Castellanos is hanging Ciro Immobile on the field on 72 minute.
  • 74' Valentin Castellanos is having his name booked by the referee on 74.
  • 79' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 81' Goal! Luis Palma scores his 9 goal in 410 matches.
  • 82' A meaty challenge results in booking for Luis Palma on 82.
  • 84' Pedro is replacing Mattia Zaccagni for the SS Lazio side.
  • 86' Hyun-Gyu Oh has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kyogo Furuhashi on 86 minute.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Matias Vecino.
  • Full Time. SS Lazio beats Celtic FC
