Celtic edge five-goal thriller against Beşiktaş with late Durán strike
Celtic beat Beşiktaş 3-2 at Celtic Park in a UEFA Europa League league-stage matchday four fixture that produced five goals, all of them after a goalless first half. Camilo Durán scored twice, the second of them three minutes after Beşiktaş had hauled themselves level for a second time.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Junior Olaitan gave the visitors the lead in the 54th minute, but Celtic responded within eight minutes. Callum Osmand levelled in the 62nd minute from Callum McGregor's assist, and Osmand then set up Durán to put the hosts 2-1 ahead in the 78th.
Orkun Kökçü pulled Beşiktaş level at 2-2 in the 85th minute, with Ernest Poku providing the assist, and the contest seemed to be heading for a draw.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Celtic 36%, the draw 23%, Beşiktaş 41%. It finished Celtic 3–2 Beşiktaş.
Beşiktaş edge it on strength, Celtic's home ground pulls back — Beşiktaş sit 132 points higher on our strength rating, 1708 to 1576, which is the main reason we give them 41%, though home sides do well in the UEFA Europa League and that helps Celtic to 36%. The draw starts at 28% for a gap this size and drops to 23%, lowered by this competition's usual draw rate and both sides' high-scoring recent games.
Why Beşiktaş at 41%?
Beşiktaş sit 132 points higher on our strength rating — 1708 to 1576. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge on the road won 39.8% of 14,869 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 31–25–44.
Why only 41%?
UEFA Europa League home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (23.2% vs 25.3% norm). UEFA Europa League homes won 46.9% of 4,493 games vs 44.6% across all 108,407 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw only 23%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.6%. These teams' recent games average 3.5 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.1% of 18,729. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.2 points off. The goals environment takes 2.2 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Beşiktaş scored +0.42 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 3,259 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 40.9% vs 42.2% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Out: Auston Trusty, an important player, and Alistair Johnston, a rotation player. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
