1 – 3
“Bamidele Yusuf opens the scoring with a left-footed strike from outside the box after Celtic failed to clear their lines from a Ferencváros free-kick situation.”
“Mika Baur levels for Celtic with a left-footed finish from the center of the box, rewarding their first-half territorial dominance.”
“Barely a minute after Celtic's equalizer, Kristoffer Zachariassen restores Ferencváros's lead with a right-footed finish from the six-yard box in stoppage time, completely shifting momentum right before the break.”
Pivotal“Daniel Arzani punishes a stunned Celtic just a minute into the second half, converting a quick counter-attack to make it 3-1 and effectively end the contest as a spectacle.”

Outstanding performance
Ferencvárosi•MidfielderCeltic dominated the ball with 63% possession and out-shot their visitors 16-14, but wastefulness in front of goal and defensive lapses at the worst possible moments proved fatal. Ferencváros needed just six shots on target to score three times, capitalizing ruthlessly on set-piece situations and a lightning counter-attack seconds into the second half. Bamidele Yusuf's opener was cancelled out by Mika Baur just before the break, only for Kristoffer Zachariassen to restore the lead in first-half stoppage time and Daniel Arzani to make it 3-1 within a minute of the restart. For Celtic, the result raises serious questions about their game management in transitional moments despite creating three big chances and forcing six saves; for Ferencváros, this was a statement road win built on clinical efficiency rather than territorial control.
