Kwadwo Asamoah in action as Juventus defeat Celtic to reach Champs Lge quarters

Published on: 07 March 2013

Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah was a second-half substitute as Juventus cruised into the quarter-finals of the Uefa Champions League with a comfortable 2-0 win over Celtic on Wednesday.

With a 3-0 advantage from the first leg, Antonio Conte's men proved devastating on the counter-attack as goals from Alessandro Matri and Fabio Quagliarella either side of the break ensured their progression to the next round.

Asamoah took the place of defender Federico Peluso in the hour mark as Conte's men shored up their defence to secure the win.

The tempo of the game soon fizzled out with the outcome clearly finalised, leaving Celtic winless in 10 visits to Italy.

The Bianconeri, meanwhile, go marching on into the quarter-finals.
