On the evening of January 29, Beijing time, the 24th round of the 21/22 Soviet Super League began, the leader Rangers unexpectedly upset, 3-3 draw with Rose County, and then the Celtics who came out seized the opportunity to rely on Abada's killer goal, defeated Dundee United 1-0, and won 4 consecutive league games.
In the last round, the Celtics relied on the excellent performance of Japanese star flag bearer Yoshiyo, coupled with the opponent's penalty shootout, to beat Harz 2-1. After just two days of rest, the Celtics are back at home to face the average Dundee United.
The Celtics took full advantage of the scene, with nearly 70% possession and 20-7 shots on goal, in addition to the Celtics shooting a total of 7 shots on target, and the opponent's data is 0! However, the Celtics fell into the embarrassment of being overwhelmed, and the more they played, the more impatient they became.
In the 80th minute, Beaton received his second personal yellow card, 2 yellows and 1 red were sent off, the Celtics played 1 less, and only 10 people were left on the court. In the 89th minute, the Celtics finally waited for the goal, Jota crossed from the wing, and Abada shoveled a shot from the back point, 1-0! After scoring, Abada took off his jersey and ran wildly to celebrate, not hesitating to receive a yellow card, and the whole team entered a carnival state.
Abada only joined the Celtics last summer for a transfer fee of just €4 million. This season, the 20-year-old Israeli talented goalscorer has performed well, contributing 11 goals and eight assists in all competitions. On this night, Abada had a flash of inspiration to help the Celtics get a key 3 points on the way to the crown.
The Celtics have achieved a two-game winning streak against Dundee United, with 10 wins and two draws in their last 12 encounters. In addition, the Celtics have enjoyed a four-game winning streak in the league while winning 17 consecutive rounds unbeaten. The last time the Celtics lost in the Soviet Premier League was back in The Sixth Round, when they lost 1-0 to Livingston.
After entering January, the Celtics have won three consecutive league games, while the defending champion Rangers have gone up and down, winning only 1 and 2 draws in the same period, and the point advantage has changed from 6 points to 2 points.
In the next round, the Celtics will sit at home to meet the Rangers, if they can beat the opponent, then they can overtake the top and grab the initiative to compete for the championship, which is a super battle worth 6 points.
The Celtics have won a total of 51 Soviet Premier League titles, and last season they were ended by the Rangers for nine consecutive Super League titles. However, the Celtics have a precious Champions League trophy, and they are the only Scottish team to have won the Big Ears Cup, an achievement that the Rangers cannot achieve.
Of course, the current Su Chao has long been far away from the five major leagues, and even participating in the Champions League is very difficult, and winning the championship is just a fool's dream. And the Soviet Super League has been completely reduced to a duo of Celtic and Rangers, with the two teams at least 10 points ahead of other opponents, and the rest of the teams can only compete for the third place at most.
