A dramatic goal just before half-time secured a valuable three points for Celtic after Yang Hyun-joon started and played the first half.

Celtic defeated Motherwell 2-1 away from home in the seventh round of the 2023-2024 Scottish Premiership at Fir Park in Motherwell, Scotland, on 30 September.

Yang Hyun-joon, who started as a right-wing striker in a 4-3-3 formation, played the entire first half before being replaced by James Forrest in the second half.

Yang was active in the first 45 minutes, moving between the right flank and the centre of the pitch, but was unable to register an attacking point.

In the 16th minute, Yang beat one defender on the right flank before unleashing a powerful left-footed shot from behind the penalty line that sailed over the crossbar.

In the 26th minute, while contesting an aerial ball in the centre of the pitch, he was struck in the face by an opponent’s arm, briefly knocking him to the ground.
