Celtic Park delivered again. A dominant 3-0 win over LASK Linz in Champions League qualifying puts Celtic firmly in control of this tie, and it genuinely wasn't as close as the scoreline alone suggests.
Nygren opened the scoring in the 26th minute, immediately lifting a full home crowd and putting LASK on the back foot from the first real moment of quality. Duran doubled the lead just before half-time, then completed his brace in the 67th minute — the same combination that opened the scoring linking up again for the third.
LASK's night was made harder by a yellow card in the 82nd minute that summed up a frustrating evening chasing shadows. This is about as comprehensive a first-leg platform as Celtic could have hoped for heading into the second leg.
