Published on: 17 August 2017

Ghanaian striker Patrick Twumasi lasted the entire duration when his team FC Astana played Celtic in a UEFA Champions League play-off first leg qualifying round tie on Wednesday.

Twumasi's side were hammered 5-0 in Scotland, a result which sees them almost out of the competition.

The Scottish champions took the lead in the 32nd minute courtesy an own goal when Postnikov diverted the ball into his own net after Rogic's impressive dribble. MATCH

Scot Sinclair made it 2-0 on 42 minutes to end the first half and after the break he netted again on the hour mark to record a personal brace.

The fourth goal was scored by James Forrest and an Igor Shitov goal completed the demolition exercise.

The return leg will be played next week.
