Soccer European Champions League: Lasse Schoene scores as Ajax beats Celtic 1-0 - Soccer

Lasse Schoene scored the only goal on Wednesday as Ajax beat Celtic 1-0 to keep the Dutch team's Champions League campaign alive.

Schoene, promoted from midfield to the forward line for the match, rounded off a slick passing move in the 51st minute to secure three points for Frank de Boer's team and end a run of six Champions League matches without a win.

Celtic beat Ajax 2-1 in Glasgow two weeks ago to leave the four-time European champion bottom of Group H with only a single point from three matches and facing elimination from a group that also includes Barcelona and AC Milan.

Barcelona remained top of the group by beating second-placed AC Milan 3-1 on Wednesday. Ajax went third, one point behind Milan.

Ajax dominated possession at the Amsterdam Areana but, as has been the team's problem in recent weeks, it struggled to convert domination into clear-cut chances.
