Aberdeen Fight Back For Draw Against Celtic
It was a classic case of "never say die" at Pittodrie as Aberdeen fought back from two goals down to snatch a draw against Celtic on Saturday. The Dons were staring down the barrel of another defeat after a first-half brace from Kyogo Furuhashi, but a second-half comeback, spearheaded by a brace from Bojan Miovski, salvaged a point for the home side.
Let's rewind a bit. The Bhoys started like a house on fire. Furuhashi, the Japanese forward, was on fire, scoring two goals in quick succession, leaving Aberdeen looking flustered. The first was a tap-in after a neat pass from Jota, and the second was a beautiful header from a pinpoint cross. It looked like Celtic were cruising.
But, as we all know, football's a funny old game. Aberdeen, known for their fighting spirit, refused to go down without a fight. The second half was a different story altogether. The Dons came out with renewed vigor, and the tide started to turn. The turning point came when Miovski, their star striker, headed home a powerful goal, cutting the deficit in half. The atmosphere at Pittodrie was electric.
Then, in the 85th minute, Aberdeen grabbed an unlikely equalizer. Miovski, with a well-placed shot, found the back of the net, sending the home crowd into raptures. The final whistle blew, and both sides walked away with a point, a result that felt like a win for Aberdeen. It was a spirited comeback from the Dons, and a testament to their never-say-die attitude.
This draw was a huge boost for Aberdeen, who are looking to break into the top six of the Scottish Premiership. They showed their resilience and fighting spirit, a quality that will be crucial in their quest for a top-six finish. It was a hard-fought draw, and one that will give them plenty of confidence going forward. For Celtic, it was a frustrating result, but they'll be looking to bounce back in their next game.
