Half-Time Report: Dinamo Zagreb, Celtic share four goals

Dinamo Zagreb and Celtic have gone into the break level at 2-2 in their Europa League clash, following an entertaining first half in Croatia.

Callum McGregor blasted over from just outside the box and Kris Commons forced the keeper to beat away his angled drive as the visitors made a positive start.

El Arbi Hillel Soudani then had a goal disallowed when he slotted into the net after the ball appeared to come through to him off a Celtic player.

Zagreb did manage to take the lead in the 14th minute when Marko Pjaca latched on to Arijan Ademi's deflected shot, before curling an effort into the corner past Craig Gordon.

The visitors hit back midway through the first half as Commons headed in from close range after Virgil van Dijk's free kick had been deflected off the wall and into his path.

Celtic scored again seven minutes later when a free kick from Commons hit the bar and was headed back into the middle by Nir Bitton for Stefan Scepovic to volley home.

However, the Hoops were pegged back in the 39th minute when Adam Matthews gave the ball away cheaply inside the box to Pjaca, who then slotted in a low effort that deflected past the keeper.
