Noonan hat-trick puts Celtic through in extra time win

Scorers: Ariyo 18′; Noonan 64′, 91′, 97′

Celtic made it through to the second round, but had to come from behind to beat Finnish opposition KuPS, with a 3-1 extra time win.

They were behind when Mathilde Carstens lost the ball cheaply in midfield, which mean Celtic’s defence could not get back in time to prevent a low strike from Rose Ariyo hitting the bottom corner.

Only a top-class save from Kelsey Daugherty prevented KuPS doubling their lead, but just after the hour mark, Saoirse Noonan delivered the equaliser when the goalkeeper tried an failed to parry the initial ball in.

With both sides only having one shot on target each during the 90 minutes, the tie headed to extra-time.

Celtic got off to a flyer in the first minute of the additional period, with Noonan firing home her second from close range.

It was the perfect time to deliver a hat-trick and the Hoops were flying into the second round with the turnaround complete.
