Celtic Triumphs Over Aberdeen in Controversial Match
Celtic secured a victory over Aberdeen in a fiercely contested match at Pittodrie Stadium in Aberdeen on December 4th, 2024. The game, part of the 15th round of the Scottish Premiership, was characterized by Celtic’s dominance in possession and goal-scoring opportunities, but also by a significant number of yellow cards issued to the home team.
Aberdeen, with 25% possession, managed 7 shots, 4 of them on target, but a lack of precision and Celtic’s strong defense prevented them from seriously threatening the opposition’s goal. In contrast, Celtic dominated with 75% possession and achieved 14 shots, 4 on target, demonstrating greater attacking efficiency. The winning goal arrived in the 78th minute thanks to Reo Hatate, assisted by Greg Taylor.
The performance of referee D. Robertson sparked controversy with four yellow cards shown to Aberdeen players in the first half (Nisbet, Valle, Shinnie, and Nilsen) and only one to Celtic. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Aberdeen couldn’t counter Celtic’s dominance, who ultimately took all three points. The final score was 0-1 in favour of Celtic.
