Celtic took the lead in the 13th minute through Nicolas Kuhn. City, who had been doused with cold water early on, quickly launched an all-out attack in the following minutes in search of an equalizer, and their efforts were rewarded with a goal from Oscar Bobb in the 33rd minute.

However, The Citizens still could not end the first half with the expected result, because before the end of the first half, Celtic scored 2 goals to take the lead 3-1 in the 36th and 44th minutes, respectively, thanks to Kuhn and Furuhashi Kyogo.
