One player's first half finish delivers for Celtic at Falkirk | OneFootball

Benjamin Nygren settled the game in the 43rd minute with a composed finish, as Celtic won 1-0 at Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership. He is now on 10 league goals, third in the scoring chart.

Nygren's decisive moment came from sharp movement and a cool conversion of Arne Engels' pass, turning his only attempt into the match winner against The Bairns' back line.

After the restart, he linked play reliably for the Bhoys, completing 18 successful passes in the final third and supplying one key pass, which kept Celtic progressing up the pitch when pressure arrived.

His work out of possession also counted. Nygren won possession five times, including once in the attacking third, and competed well in the air with two duels won. He was active throughout with 61 touches and four in the box, showing constant availability.

Because the Hoops controlled key phases with 57.1% possession and 83.8% passing accuracy, plus 74.7% accuracy on forward zone passes, Nygren could receive early and recycle attacks, sustaining territory until his first half strike proved enough.

The display underlines his influence as the Hoops rise from third to second in the table.
