Celtic Clinch Commanding 2-0 Win Over Aberdeen at Pittodrie
So, here’s the lowdown on the recent Scottish Premiership clash between Aberdeen and Celtic at Pittodrie Stadium. It was a solid display from Celtic as they secured a 2-0 victory over Aberdeen, reinforcing their position at the top of the league table while Aberdeen still struggles near the bottom.
From the start, Celtic dominated possession, holding around 72% of the ball compared to Aberdeen’s 28%. This control translated into more shots on goal, with Celtic firing off 12 attempts versus Aberdeen’s 3. Out of those, Celtic had four shots on target while Aberdeen could manage only one. The pressure from the visitors was clear throughout the match.
The first breakthrough came in the 27th minute when Benjamin Nygren, assisted by Kieran Tierney, found the net for Celtic, putting them ahead early. Aberdeen tried to respond but struggled to create meaningful chances against a well-organized Celtic defense.

After the break, the visitors doubled their lead in the 66th minute through Reo Hatate. His right-footed shot from outside the box sailed into the top right corner, again set up by Nygren, who was clearly having a standout game. That goal pretty much sealed the deal for Celtic.
Aberdeen made some substitutions to try and shift the momentum, bringing on Ester Sokler around the 55th minute, but the home side couldn’t break through. Celtic’s goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel made a crucial save to keep the clean sheet intact, while Aberdeen’s keeper Dimitar Mitov also had some saves to make, although his defense was under constant siege.
In terms of discipline, Aberdeen’s Sivert Heltne Nilsen and Celtic’s Liam Scales each picked up a yellow card, but overall, the game was fairly clean with Celtic committing fewer fouls. Statistically, Celtic were more accurate and aggressive with their passing, completing over 88% of their passes compared to Aberdeen’s 74%.
This win keeps Celtic unbeaten in their opening matches and extends their impressive away record at Pittodrie, where they haven’t lost since 2016. Aberdeen, on the other hand, are still searching for their first points of the season after two losses, a tough start that hasn’t happened to them since 2003-04.
So, all in all, Celtic’s clinical finishing and control of the game secured them a comfortable victory and allowed them to maintain momentum early in the season. Aberdeen will have to regroup quickly if they want to turn their fortunes around in the upcoming fixtures.
