Celtic Held by Aberdeen: Sokler, Shinnie On Target
Hold on to your kilts, folks! Celtic's quest for a perfect start to the season took a hit on Saturday as they were held to a 2-2 draw by a resilient Aberdeen side. It was a thrilling match, with both teams trading blows and giving the fans a real rollercoaster ride.
A Back and Forth Battle
The game started off with Celtic on the front foot, pressing high and looking to dominate possession. They deservedly took the lead in the 15th minute when Liel Abada finished off a lovely team move. But Aberdeen, to their credit, weren't intimidated. They fought back with real grit and equalized in the 35th minute when Duk set up Bojan Miovski for a tap-in.
The second half was a barn burner! Both teams continued to create chances, and it was Aberdeen who took the lead when Hayden Sokler headed home a corner kick. The lead didn't last long though! Celtic struck back immediately through Matt O'Riley, who slotted home a penalty after a foul on Kyogo Furuhashi.
Late Drama & A Point A Piece
The drama didn't end there! The game was end-to-end and both teams had a real go at winning it. Celtic pushed hard for a winner but couldn't find a way through a determined Aberdeen defense. In the dying minutes, Aberdeen's captain, Graeme Shinnie, even scored a goal that was disallowed for offside.
In the end, it was a fair result for both sides. Celtic will be disappointed not to get the three points, but they will have to lick their wounds and move on. For Aberdeen, it was a huge point and a sign of their progress under Barry Robson.
So, there you have it! A thrilling draw that will be remembered for the fight, the goals, and the drama!
