Gianluigi Buffon angry with Nordsjaelland draw

Buffon angry with Nordsjaelland draw

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has admitted that he was unhappy with how his side conceded the goal which saw them slump to a 1-1 draw at Nordsjaelland.

The Danish minnows are playing in the Champions League for the first time in their history but a Mikkel Beckmann free kick saw them take a surprise lead against the Italian giants.

Juventus equalised with 10 minutes remaining to earn a point but Buffon was angry that they were unable to secure the victory.

Buffon told reporters: "I am angry for the result and for the way that we conceded the goal.

"We conceded a very avoidable free kick on the edge of the box and that was frankly the only way that they could possibly score against us. The free kick was perfect and I couldn't do anything about it.

"The first half was balanced, but after the break, there was only one team on the field. Never more than tonight was the result down to a single incident."

The draw in Denmark meant that Juventus remained in third place in Group E behind Shakhtar Donetsk and Chelsea.
