The sunken Cerny beautifully struck goal in the 88th minute. Despite its important goal to Ajax in the final round Fenerbahçe, number two in the group, only figure out if the self of group winner Molde win and the competitor loses Istanbul’s already disabled Celtic.
The leader of The league now has a clear six points from five matches, four more than last placed Celtic.
Fenerbahçe that 2-0 triumphed at Molde FK through goals from Fernandão and Ozan Tufan into the second half, is second with eight points. Molde leader remains at ten points, but had already qualified for the knock-out phase.
Ajax receives about two weeks the Norwegian club at the Arena. Kenny Tete has been suspended by a yellow card in Scotland for that game

High speed
Ajax knew beforehand that it is really only what had to win at Celtic Park, but the Amsterdammers, playing without the injured Anwar El Ghazi, Riechedly Bazoer, Daley Sinkgraven and Thulani Serero and sick Joel Veltman had to very quickly swallow counter goal.
Callum McGregor shot the ball on a pass from Gary Mackay-Steven in the third minute in the far corner behind Ajax keeper Jasper Cillessen.
The visitors thought through Viktor Fischer soon to get back on the same level, but the arbitration ruled incorrectly that declarant Amin Younes had been standing offside.
In 22 minutes was still 1-1, and again there was a key for Fischer. The Dane came first still at Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon, but he then gave the ball heading for Arek Milik who with his back to the goal skilfully managed to score.
Debut
Both teams knew they had to play in the second half for the win, but it was not long before a huge opportunity was noted. 67 minutes Cillessen could only watch as a change of direction of McGregor shot ended over the crossbar.
De Boer then intervened and brought Cerny for the often unfortunate Fischer. Furthermore awarded the coach’s also only 18 years old Donny Brook his debut in the first, replacing Lasse Schöne.
But it was Celtic, partly through carelessness at Ajax, put a final offensive. Striker Leigh Griffiths could freely on their way to Cillessen, but the goalie made the save with his foot. Substitute Charlie Mulgrew headed moments later hampered by Jairo Riedewald just over the crossbar.
Yaya Sanogo as a pinch hitter Ajax tried in the last ten minutes remaining to force anything. First a hesitant Griffiths missed a great opportunity, but Younes plane then hit the other side of the pole.
created large areas to benefit both sides and Cerny knew it. The young winger fired a shot after an outbreak in the short corner behind Gordon and held the small chance of European wintering of Ajax thus alive
