:shamrock: Celtic 1-0 Benfica:shamrock:
Celtic triumphed over Portuguese Giants Benfica by the score of 1-0. The first half started with both sides getting more than their share of chances. Then in the dying seconds of the first half the Irish international Aiden McGeady hit an amazing strike that hit a Benfica player before rolling into the back netting. A well deserved goal for McGeady who was all over the pitch on this November night. The second half showed Celtic were truly the better team and besides a few Benfica chances, Celtic dominated it. The game concluded with a horrific tackle on Celtic's Scott Brown that resulted in a red card being shown to Benfica's Binya. Scott Brown was later replaced by Sno. After four nervous minutes in injury time Celtic celebrated their 1-0 win and their 6 points in Champions League group play.
