Ronny Deila’s side’s poor defending on set pieces cost them dearly. Malmo’s captain Markus Rosenberg back in the side, headed in a Yoshimar Yotun corner whipped in from the right. An example of perfect corner taking. Take note, Arsenal. Again, following a corner, Felipe Carvalho was able to prod the ball home via a Dedrick Boyata deflection.
Celtic had reason to complain when a Nir Bitton goal was ruled for obstructing the goalie. But there was no mistaking Malmo as the better side. Before the match Malmo’s coach Age Hareide defended Johan Wiland’s “pig” jibes giving the Luis Suarez cultural relativism defence.
