  • 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 25' 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.
  • 27' A moment of madness from Greg Taylor on 27 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Celtic FC will be frustrated.
  • 32' 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' Alistair Johnston catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 35.
  • 40' SS Lazio are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Celtic FC's 4-3-3 shape.

  • 84' Daichi Kamada is ready to make an impact after coming on for Luis Alberto at the 84 minute mark.
  • 85' Magnificent from Ciro Immobile! That is 148 goals in 516 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 87' A tactical swap from Celtic FC — David Turnbull on, Hyun-jun Yang off on 87 minutes.
  • 89' Poor challenge from Pedro. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Patric.
  • Full Time. SS Lazio beats Celtic FC
