AdminCeltic has secured a spot in the next stage of the Champions League with a hard-fought 1-0 win against Young Boys. The team dominated the game, but it seemed like they were cursed by a hex that prevented them from scoring. They had three goals disallowed within the first 40 minutes, including two from Kyogo, who was denied by an offside call and a foul in the build-up to his second goal. Kyogo even managed to score a “phantom hat-trick” when he combined with Daizen Maeda to put the ball into the Young Boys net for a third time, but it wasn’t meant to be.
The Hoops also had a penalty awarded to them when Greg Taylor was brought down in the box, but Arne Engels’ penalty was saved by the Young Boys goalkeeper. Despite creating countless other chances, Celtic just couldn’t seem to find the back of the net. Auston Trusty even hit the bar, and it seemed like the game was going to end in a frustrating 0-0 draw.
However, Young Boys began to gain confidence and started to believe they could pull off a surprise win. But Celtic’s luck finally changed when Adam Idah’s shot was saved, and the rebound fell to Loris Benito, who scored the winning goal. The game took a dramatic turn when Daizen Maeda was given a red card after a VAR check for a kick out, leaving Celtic to finish the game with 10 men.
Despite the challenges, Celtic’s win means they will finish in the top 24 teams in the league phase of the Champions League and will advance to the next stage of the competition. This is a significant achievement for the team, as it’s the first time since the 2012/13 season that Celtic has qualified for knockout Champions League football. The win is a testament to the team’s determination and perseverance, and they will look to build on this momentum as they move forward in the competition.
