Weah timed his run perfectly, bursting into the box in perfect timing to latch onto the through ball with only Joe Lewis to beat. The Aberdeen goalkeeper rushed out to narrow the angle, but Weah kept his composure. With a deft touch, he chipped the ball over the onrushing keeper. Time seemed to slow as the ball sailed through the air, spinning towards the net.
The Celtic fans held their breath, watching as the ball descended, narrowly missing the crossbar and hitting the top of the net. The stadium erupted in a roar of both relief and disappointment, the chance so agonizingly close to sealing the win. Weah clapped his hands in frustration, knowing how close he had come to putting the game out of Aberdeen's reach.
