Celtic 3-2 Malmo – Gallery (H)

Celtic have a narrow advantage in their Champions League qualifier after defeating Swedish side Malmo 3-2 at Celtic Park.

Ronny Deila’s side took the lead very early on. In just the third minute, Stefan Johansen played a lovely pass between two Malmo defenders and Leigh Griffiths got on the end of it and finished with relative ease.

Just seven minutes later, Celtic doubled their lead and once again Johansen was the provider. He whipped in a corner which was met by Nir Bitton who headed home.

The away side got back in the game in the 52nd minute as Magnus Wolff Eikrem’s cross found an unmarked Jo Inge Berget who rifled home.

10 minutes later, Celtic restored their two-goal cushion as Griffiths got his second goal of the game. This time it was with his head, and he directed a looping header past the ‘keeper.

The scoreline remained that way until the 95th minute when Berget got his, and Malmo’s, second goal of the game – an away goal that could be crucial come the return leg. The ball was headed down from a corner and he managed to blast it high past Craig Gordon.
