Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. SS Lazio get us underway at Stadio Olimpico.
  • 5' The travelling Celtic FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 7' What composure from Ciro Immobile! The Italy international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 12' With 0 assists to his name this season, Nir Bitton is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SS Lazio.
  • 17' 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.
  • 22' The energy levels are beginning to show. Neil Lennon might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 27' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 32' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 37' Supporters expect more eagerness from Christopher Jullien, as he is very good at scoring at Stadio Olimpico with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 38' A goal from the Scotland international James Forrest! He fires home on 38 to make it 1-1!
  • 42' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Felipe Caicedo.
  • 47' 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 Jules Ntcham suffering a number of foals already.
  • 51' The referee calls foul for Scott Brown. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 56' Celtic FC is showing some good football. However, Celtic FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 58' The whistle greets Lucas Leiva as he departs to be replaced by Luis Alberto.
  • 63' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both SS Lazio and Celtic FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 68' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 73' Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SS Lazio so far.
  • 77' Celtic FC make a change. Ryan Christie trudges off to be replaced by Jules Ntcham on 77 minutes.
  • 82' Valon Berisha is replacing Denis Vavro for the SS Lazio side.
  • 83' The Celtic FC manager makes a substitution. Hatem Abd Elhamed departs to be replaced by Nir Bitton.
  • 88' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 89' Celtic FC make a change. James Forrest trudges off to be replaced by Moritz Bauer on 89 minutes.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for SS Lazio.
