In the semifinals of the Scottish Cup, Aberdeen and Celtic faced off at Hampden Park in Glasgow, where spectators – a total of 45,385 – witnessed a true drama. Aberdeen narrowly escaped twice, but in the end lost in a penalty shootout. Celtic emerged victorious after the penalty shootout, and one of the most prominent individuals for Aberdeen was also Ester Sokler.
The Slovenian forward, who moved to Scotland from Radomlje last year, started the game against the iconic Celts on the bench, only entering the field in the 79th minute. However, he made an impact by scoring a goal, as Ester Sokler headed in the equalizer in the 90th minute to make it 2-2 and force extra time. In extra time, Celtic was once again on the brink of victory, but in the 119th minute, Bojan Miovski scored, leading to the “third half”.
Ester Sokler took his shot in the third round, and Joe Hart, former English national team goalkeeper, conceded to the Slovenian striker for the second time in the match. However, Aberdeen’s Ryan Duncan and Killian Phillips missed their shots, which played into Celtic’s hands, ultimately allowing them to celebrate advancing to the grand final of the Scottish Cup after a true drama.
