After 17 games without a loss, Celtic’s streak was interrupted, and unexpectedly at all. The Scots surrendered tonight (Thursday) 3: 1 to Buda Glimt in Celtic Park, as part of the Conference League playoffs, and got entangled ahead of the rematch. The Norwegians, for their part, who have been good throughout all stages of the game, can certainly come out satisfied. Liel Abda, who did not influence Celtic’s attacking play, was replaced in the 58th minute, while Nir Bitton was not a partner at all.
The game opens quite surprisingly. In the seventh minute, the visitors took the lead 0: 1 thanks to a nice goal by Ronar Estefjord. In the 54th minute, the team from Norway increased the advantage to two goals, thanks to a wonderful team move at the end of which Pellegrino worked hard after a close-range effort by Estefjord.
After 10 minutes came the shrinking goal of the Scots. Josip Yuranovich burst on the right wing and raised the ball into the extension, where Dizen waited from a sympathy that slammed close inside. A minute and a half later, Hugo and Telsen answered with an off-field kick that hit one of the Celtic brakes, misled Joe Hart and went into the net. Buda Glimt has made a serious advance towards the rematch in Norway.
