Celtic did their damage in two sharp bursts. Trusty broke the deadlock after 21 minutes, and Duran made it 2-0 less than two minutes later. That quick double gave Celtic a firm grip on the tie and sent the visitors into the interval with a clear advantage on the scoreboard.
There was no shift in the pattern after halftime. Tounekti extended the lead in the 54th minute, then Nygren added the fourth just after the hour. Dundee United never found a reply, and the match ended with Celtic four goals clear and a clean sheet intact.
The result was as emphatic as the score, and the basic stats matched the flow of the evening. The biggest highlights came in that first-half surge and the decisive start to the second period. For anyone seeking a quick summary, Celtic were clinical when the openings came and never allowed Dundee United a route back at Tannadice Park.
