Celtic 1-2 Lazio: Redeemer Pedro kept them top of Group 5 in 90+6 minutes

Lazio found their hero in the person of Pedro, who scored in the 6th minute of stoppage time to seal the win 2-1 in his team against Celtic in Glasgow.

Kyogo Furuhashi opened the scoring for the hosts but Matias Vesino responded shortly after before Pedro provided the solution to keep the Italians top of Group 6 of the Champions League after two games.

The game started spectacularly, with both teams reaching the goal before half an hour. The opener was Kyogo Furuhashi, who scored the first goal in the 12th minute and made saves throughout the tournament, but a defensive error in the 29th minute allowed Matias Vesinos to equalize with a header.

The game was mostly even and neither team managed to dominate or create chances that would lead to goals.

The changes in the two coaches were the ones that would eventually play a crucial role in the next goal of the game.

Former Aris striker Luis Palma, originally signed by Brendan Rodgers, fired the ball into the Lazio goal in the 80th minute, but the goal was disallowed for offside following a VAR review.

In stoppage time, Maurizio Sarri’s substitute Pedri scored a header to make it 2-1, which meant Lazio reached the top of the group along with Atlético and left Celtic without a home win in the competition for a decade.
