At 23:00 Beijing time on December 19, the final of the 21/22 Scottish League Cup, 26-year-old Japan international Hengwu Furuhashi scored two goals in 20 minutes to help the Celtics reverse Hibernian 2-1 and win the championship for the 20th time in team history. For Furuhashi Heono personally, this is his first championship in the ocean.
In the 51st minute, the Celtics were led by the opponent by one goal, 0-1 behind. However, a minute later, Furuhashi received a long pass from a teammate and fired a low shot into the near corner on the left side of the penalty area to help the Celtics equalize 1-1. Furuhashi's technique of stopping the ball and shooting is really top-notch.
In the 72nd minute, still a familiar routine, teammates dropped the ball in front of the side, and Furuhashi Hengwu once again successfully countered offside, this time directly volleying the goal to help the Celtics complete a 2-1 rebound. After scoring this crucial goal, Furuhashi slid to his knees in front of 48,540 fans to celebrate.
After completing the double ring, Furuhashi Hyungome clocked in early at the 83rd minute. When he heard the closing whistle, he celebrated wildly with his teammates on the bench.
Hengo Furuhashi just moved from Kobe Victory ship to Celtic in July this year for a transfer fee of 5.4 million euros. So far, he has made 25 appearances for the Celtics in all competitions, directly involved in 21 goals (16 goals and 5 assists), including 3 goals in 3 appearances in the League Cup to help the team win the championship.
