A controversial penalty decision in extra-time has sparked outrage from an EFL star, who called it horrific. The match between Celtic and Aberdeen took a wild turn after goals from Bojan Miovski, Nicolas Kuhn, and James Forrest. Ester Sokler then forced the game into extra time, where Matt O’Riley put Celtic in front.
However, controversy arose when Cameron Carter-Vickers was accused of fouling Aberdeen’s Junior Hoilett in the box. The defender’s reaction spoke volumes about the tension surrounding the penalty kick. But to everyone’s surprise, the foul was awarded to Celtic for a Hoilett infringement in the build-up to the goal.
The game eventually went to penalty kicks, with Celtic emerging victorious as 6-5 winners. Jack Grimmer, a former Dons player, expressed disbelief at the decision, calling it truly horrendous. Commentators and analysts also criticized the call, with Michael Stewart labeling it as astonishing and a letdown by the officials.
With the win, Celtic will face Rangers in the final, setting up an exciting Old Firm derby showdown, the first in the competition’s final since 2002.
