They didn’t even do it on purpose! Lazio escaped from Scotland with a win, defeating Celtic 2-1 with an upset, thanks to a “hit” (by Pedro) in the 90’+5′, like against Atletico Madrid. Only this time they got three points, while against the “rojiblancos” they drew. At the top of the 5th group are now the Spanish and the Italians, while Feyenoord follows with three. Celtic remained at… nil.

The rating:
Celtic-Lazio 1-2
The game started perfectly and almost ended perfectly for Celtic and we explain! Furuhashi gave the home side the lead with a close-range finish after some terrific movement from Rodgers’ side. Sarri’s side responded in the 29th minute as they vindicated their persistence and sent the ball into the net with Vesino narrowly sending the ball over the line after a… volley into the home side’s area.
With the game hanging in the balance and Celtic’s players not content with a draw, Palma fired the ball into the net in the 81st minute with a powerful shot, but he was exposed as it proved in the aftermath. Not only did Celtic not get the win, but they… lost everything. Pedro with a header in essentially…dead time tipped the scales in favor of Lazio.
