Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. SS Lazio host Celtic FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Celtic FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 10' Felipe Anderson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 13 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' SS Lazio are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' SS Lazio have won 574 goals from 511 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 27' It’s a booking for Celtic FC player. Greg Taylor gets a Yellow card.
  • 32' With 0 assists to his name this season, Mikey Johnston is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SS Lazio.
  • 35' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Alistair Johnston.
  • 40' 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 Gila suffering a number of foals already.

  • 50' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Nicolo Rovella.

  • 66' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 69' Hyun-Gyu Oh is replacing Paulo Bernardo for the Celtic FC side.
  • 72' That is a Yellow card for Celtic FC. Matt O'Riley will be fuming at that decision.
  • 77' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 78' The referee shows Celtic FC player a Yellow card on 78.
  • 79' The SS Lazio bench stirs into life. Nicolo Rovella is withdrawn and Danilo Cataldi gets his opportunity.

  • 84' SS Lazio make a change. Luis Alberto trudges off to be replaced by Daichi Kamada on 84 minutes.

  • 87' The crowd applauds Hyun-jun Yang as he leaves the pitch. David Turnbull steps in for Celtic FC.
