"But Midtjylland got the breakthrough after recycling a corner in the 33rd minute, with Erlic rising highest to thump his header past Schmeichel. Just 98 seconds later, Gogorza, who assisted the first goal, got the hosts' second. He danced between two Celtic defenders as he cut inside from the left before bending a brilliant shot around Schmeichel into the far side of the net."
"Celtic have now failed to win any of their last 15 major European matches away from home (D5 L10), conceding 40 goals in total since a 3-2 win over Ferencvaros in November 2021. And a terrible finish to the first half ultimately decided the match, with Celtic giving up 15 shots before the break, nine of which were on target. Midtjylland ultimately finished with 22 attempts"
Celtic suffered a 3-1 defeat away to Midtjylland after conceding three goals late in the first half. Erlic opened the scoring with a header from a recycled corner, Gogorza curled a second past Kasper Schmeichel shortly after, and Franculino finished a long-throw sequence with a top-left strike four minutes before halftime. Reo Hatate converted a penalty after Callum Osmand was tripped, but Celtic could not overturn the deficit. The loss ended Martin O'Neill's unbeaten start since returning to manage Celtic. Celtic yielded 15 first-half shots (nine on target), while Midtjylland had 22 attempts and remain perfect in the competition.
