Posted : 20 April 2024

Celtic emerged victorious in a thrilling Scottish Cup semi-final clash against Aberdeen, securing a spot in their 60th Scottish Cup final after a dramatic penalty shootout. Despite the intense drama, it was Joe Hart's pivotal save from Killian Phillips' penalty that ultimately sealed Celtic's win, leaving Aberdeen devastated.

 

The match was an enthralling affair, with Aberdeen twice equalizing in the dying moments to keep the contest alive. Angus MacDonald's late header in the 119th minute seemed to tilt the game in Aberdeen's favor after a series of twists and turns, including Nicolas Kuhn's equalizer for Celtic and Ester Sokler's dramatic late header for Aberdeen to force extra time.

 

Aberdeen's early lead through Bojan Miovski's stunning strike set the tone for a fiercely competitive encounter. However, Celtic rallied in the second half, with substitute James Forrest's goal initially appearing to secure their place in the final, only for Sokler's late equalizer to send the match into extra time.

 

Despite Aberdeen's spirited fightback, it was Matt O'Riley's composed finish in extra time that restored Celtic's lead before MacDonald's late heroics forced the game to penalties. In the end, it was Celtic who held their nerve in the shootout, with Hart's heroics ensuring their progression to the final.

 

The match showcased the resilience and determination of both teams, with Celtic ultimately edging past Aberdeen in a memorable encounter that will be remembered for its thrilling twists and turns.
