The team put up a great fight in what could be interim boss Martin O'Neill's last game, showing a lot more energy in the first half than they had in weeks. They had a chance to take the lead early on, but Luke McCowan was flagged offside after missing an open goal from yards out. The home side took the lead when Sem Steijn broke free and squared to Ayase Ueda, who scored with a shot from inside the area that beat Kasper Schmeichel.
Celtic responded well, equalizing just after the half-hour mark. Reo Hatate hooked the ball to Yang Hyun-Jun, who netted from a tight angle. The turnaround was complete two minutes before halftime when Timon Wellenreuther's failed clearance rolled to Hatate, who scored with a first-time effort into an empty net.
Feyenoord pushed hard in the final minutes, but Celtic held on for the win. Gaoussou Diarra had two close chances, but the Hoops defense held firm. Benjamin Nygren sealed the win with a shot inside the final 10 minutes, sparking celebrations among Celtic fans. This win keeps Celtic's hopes alive for an automatic round of 16 spot, while Feyenoord's chances look slim.
