The ball slipped past Zlamal's outstretched fingers and nestled into the back of the net. The stadium erupted in a chorus of cheers and applause from the Celtic supporters, celebrating the breakthrough.
"Goal! James Forrest with a clinical finish, finally putting Celtic ahead!" Callum McDonald exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement. "It's been coming, Roy. The pressure they've been applying was bound to pay off."
"Absolutely, Callum," Roy Townsley responded. "Forrest showed great composure there, and credit to Burke for the perfectly weighted assist. Zlamal's been brilliant, but even he couldn't stop that one."
Celtic players gathered around Forrest, celebrating their hard-earned lead. The momentum was now firmly in their favour, and Lennon's animated gestures from the touchline urged them to keep pushing.
