Adeniran Scores Twice as LASK Complete Stunning 5-4 Aggregate Comeback Against Celtic
LASK produced a remarkable Champions League playoff comeback, overturning a four-goal aggregate deficit to eliminate Celtic 5-4 after extra time. Celtic arrived in Linz with a 3-0 first-leg lead and went 4-0 ahead on aggregate when Callum McGregor scored in the 21st minute. Moses Usor started LASK’s response with an equaliser before Robert Ljubicic added another after the break. Samuel Adeniran made it 4-3 on aggregate in the 58th minute. Florian Flecker’s 90th-minute goal forced extra time after a VAR review, and Adeniran scored again in the 109th minute to seal the dramatic victory. The result will draw interest in Nigeria, as Adeniran has Nigerian family roots while Usor developed at 36 Lions FC before moving to Europe. Celtic had previously allowed Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho to leave after their 2025/26 league-winning season.
