Celtic vs Lazio match review:

In a thrilling UEFA Champions League match at Celtic Park, Celtic and Lazio battled it out in a tense contest. The fans of both teams, hungry for victory, enjoyed a spectacle that kept them in suspense until the final whistle. The score was tied 1-1 at half-time and both teams managed to score a goal each before the break. The first one on 12 minutes was scored by K. Furuhashi, who took advantage of a defensive error and crossed the ball into the Lazio goalkeeper's net. Lazio responded in the 29th minute with a goal by M. Vecino, who showed great composure and levelled the score. At the end of the first half, when N. Phillips of Celtic received a yellow card for untimely interference in the game, the Italian team grew in confidence and began to dominate the match.

This was a wake-up call for the home side, who were reminded to keep their composure in such a crucial match. At the start of the second half, both teams made substitutions: Jan Hyeon Jun replaced L. Palma and N. Phillips replaced K. Carter-Vickers. Lazio also made a substitution: Felipe Anderson replaced G. Isaksen and Luis Alberto replaced M. Guendouzi.

In the 81st minute, L. Palma of Celtic received a yellow card for breaking the rules. In the final minutes of the match, Celtic seemed to equalise when L. Palma hit the net, but the goal was cancelled due to offside. The disappointment was compounded when Lazio's Pedro scored in the 90th minute, securing a 2-1 win for the Italians. The match ended with Lazio celebrating a hard fought victory at Celtic Park. Both teams showed their skill, determination and resilience throughout the match, making it an unforgettable experience for spectators and those watching from home.
