Kyogo Furuhashi gave the Celtic fans something extra to shout about when he opened the scoring after 23 minutes against Sydney FC.
The Japanese striker had been foiled a few minutes earlier when the Sydney keeper blocked him on a 1-on-1 but he was helpless when Kyogo deflected a fierce shot from Alexando Bernabei with his chest to put the visitors ahead.
Sydney had twice hit the crossbar before the opener but were back on level terms three minutes later when Mak equalised.
Kyogo knew exactly what he was doing ?????#CELSYD | #SydneySuperCup | #CeltsInSydney???

It was an incredibly open match with chances at each end of the park in front of a crowd estimated at around 20,000 inside the 42,000 capacity Alliance Arena.
There was a noisy Celtic support at the match but unfortunately they were on the same side of the pitch as the television cameras.
HALF TIME score 1-1.
CELTIC: Siegrist; Ralston, Welsh, Starfelt, Bernabei; Abildgaard, Ideguchi, Turnbull; Abada, Kyogo, Forrest (c)
