Feyenoord vs Celtic match summary and highlights
Although the game ended 2-0, the outcome did not accurately reflect what occurred on the field. We watched two sides try for the win in the first half. In actuality, there were just a few threatening attempts, but the home team gained the lead right before the break. This allowed Feyenoord to seize charge in the opening minutes of the second half, and they were further aided by the dismissal of Lagerblielke, who committed a foul inside the box.
The home team had a chance to win the game, but Paixao blocked the attempt. Just three minutes later, Celtic received another red card, effectively ending any dreams of a comeback. Feyenoord scored their second goal with barely 15 minutes remaining in the game.
Player of the match: Calvin Stenge
Throughout the game, Feyenoord’s number 10 was quite inventive. He made passes to his teammates that almost led to a goal. He was in charge of scoring the game’s opening goal, which broke the tie.
