FC Copenhagen keeper Johan Wiland kept
Juventus at bay as the Italian champions
stuttered to a 1-1 draw in their opening
Champions League Group B game on
Tuesday.
.
Wiland produced several superb saves to keep his
side in the game after Nicolai Jorgensen had given
Copenhagen a surprise lead in the 14th minute.
Jorgensen, the Denmark international, latched on to a
loose ball in the area and poked home.
.
Fabio Quagliarella ended Wiland's resistance nine
minutes into the second half, levelling the scores
with a left-footed shot from Federico Peluso's cross.
.
With his side visibly tiring as the second half wore
on, Wiland continued to frustrate Juventus with his
heroics between the posts as the Italians attacked in
waves.
.
"We should have scored a lot of goals," Quagliarella
told reporters. "They scored early in the game but
then Buffon did not have to make a save for the
whole game, while their goalkeeper made a series of
great saves."
.
Swedish international Wiland was helped in no small
part by wasteful finishing, with Arturo Vidal and
Carlos Tevez both missing late chances that could
have given Juventus victory.
