Celtic belied their lowly position in the table today with a second half performance that left Monaco gasping in their wake. The first half was an absorbing and evenly-contested 15' of good passing football, though scoring chances were rare. Both Sara and Carla tested Maeve in the Monaco goal with solid shots but Maeve saved them both. At the other end, Clotilde tested Alessandra but with the same result. After the break, Zoe broke through to shoot but, again, Alessandra saved well. Livia had a chance to open the scoring when Maeve rushed out to block the ball but Livia's attempted lob was too high. But Vittoria, Viola and especially Anna were now working hard to keep the marauding highlanders at bay and they could do nothing to stop Chloe's fiercely-struck left-foot shot from midfield that caught Maeve by surprise: 1-0! Monaco were still in the game though. Clotilde and Camilla were combining well in midfield and Zoe was always a threat going forward but Carla was everywhere in defence - winning ball after ball after ball. Then Celtic who scored again. A poor ball out of defence fell to Livia and she calmly passed to Sara on the right. A good first touch from Sara, a good second touch and a good shot into the corner! Chloe scored again at the death to make it an emphatic victory.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Carla 4, Anna 3, Chloe 2, Clotilde 2, Camilla 2, Maeve 2, Sara 2, Zoe 1, Viola 1, Vittoria 1
