"The 10 men of Celtic failed to hold onto a two-goal lead as they drew 2-2 with Bologna in the Europa League. Reo Hatate scored before being sent off for two bookable offences in the first half, and Auston Trusty's subsequent goal did not give Celtic enough breathing room as Thijs Dallinga and Jonathan Rowe scored in the second half to rescue a point for the hosts."
"Bologna made the worst possible start when goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski passed the ball straight to Daizen Maeda in the box, and the Celtic forward squared it to Hatate in the middle for a simple finish. The hosts were then in the ascendancy, with Kasper Schmeichel making saves either side of a crucial block from Liam Scales, and their momentum seemed to be growing before Hatate received two yellow cards in the space of three minutes."
"Trusty then scored completely against the run of play in the 40th minute, turning home from Arne Engels' flick-on to the back post, but Dallinga brought Bologna back within a goal with a header early in the second half. Rowe then restored parity with 18 minutes to go after Schmeichel was left unsighted in a crowded box, and the ball went to the goalkeeper's right and into the back of the net."
Celtic took an early lead after Bologna goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski passed the ball to Daizen Maeda, who set up Reo Hatate for a simple finish. Hatate was sent off in the first half after two yellow cards. Auston Trusty converted a 40th-minute chance from Arne Engels' flick to make it 2-0. Thijs Dallinga headed Bologna back into the game early in the second half. Jonathan Rowe levelled with 18 minutes remaining after Schmeichel was unsighted in a crowded box. Bologna dominated possession and xG after the break, forcing Celtic to defend and secure a 2-2 draw.
