Young bulls triumph in penalty shooting: Salzburg in the round of 16!

In the exciting sixteenth finals of the UEFA Youth League, the U19 of FC Salzburg prevailed 5: 3 in penalty shooting against Celtic Glasgow. After an intensive game that went into the extension, the regular season ended 1-1. The Salzburg dominated almost the entire match, but could not convert their numerous chances into goals. The defensive network of the Scots proved to be a persistent opponent, but a goal by Johannes Moser in the 57th minute brought Salzburg in the lead. The Celtic players managed to equalize through a spectacular free kick from Kyle Ure in the 68th minute after the Salzburg defensive surprisingly got out of step, as laola1.at reported.

The Salzburg nerve strength showed in the penalty shootout. Her keeper, Zawieschitzky, parried the Scots' first penalty, while all Salzburg shooters turned their attempts. Aguilar, which made the crucial shots, did not let himself be put off and led his team to the round of 16 with his goal. Although Celtic Glasgow bravely defended himself and had some good chances on the goal, they were ultimately too ineffective on the offensive, such as weltfussball.at . The young bulls thus move into the round of 16 and do it to their Austrian colleague, the SK Sturm Graz, who also reached the next round.
