Well, this has been so one-sided with Maeda just offside as he flicked the ball into the net from the Hatate pass. Just offside. RB Leipzig a spent force now.

'Game management. This is the progress Brendan Rodgers will have been looking for," says Joe Hart in the TNT Sports commentary box. "Celtic have been in control."

Lovely sweeping play involving Hatate, Kyogo and Maeda before Hatate crashes a shot a few yards wide from 22 yards. Mature play from Celtic.
GOLDEN CHANCE FOR LEIPZIG
But Forzan Ouédraogo can't get the header on target as the ball flies over. Heading for the final 10 minutes. Ball just behind him.
