Villarreal 1-0 Celtic

2 months ago 01st Oct 11:07

Marcos Senna's free-kick was enough to give Celtic another Champions League defeat as the Scots lost 1-0 to Villarreal.

Celtic needed to taka something from this game after a disappointing draw at home to Aalborg in their first match.

Georgios Samaras missed a great chance to give Celtic the lead just before the break.

Maloney tried his luck from a free-kick from 35 yards, but didn't trouble keeper Diego Lopez.

Moments later the Spaniards almost took the lead when Sebastian Eguren found space in the box but headed wide.

Senna's persistance in the game paid off on 67 minutes when he curled a free-kick over the wall and inside Boruc's post.

Scott McDonald replaced Shaun Maloney and nearly earned Celtic a point with a strong dipping volley which landed on top of the net.

The rest of last night's Champions League results:

BATE Borisov 2-2 Juventus

Bayern Munich 1-1 Lyon

Fenerbahce 0-0 Dynamo Kiev

Fiorentina 0-0 Steaua Bucharest

Zenit St Petersburg 1-2 Real Madrid
