Gordon Schildenfeld scores
Croatian Times
Sturm Graz are rank outsiders in terms of entering the UEFA Europa
League group stage after losing to Juventus 1-2 last night (Thurs).
The
team managed by Franco Foda conceded an early goal (Leonardo Bonucci,
16’) but also had several decent chances to score. Croatian centre-back
Gordon Schildenfeld’s powerful header found the net eight minutes from
the end, before Juve striker Amauri Carvalho de Oliveira made it 1-2 for
the Italian giants in the first minute of overtime.
Foda
commented: "This is a very bitter defeat. My team didn’t deserve this.
They played well and followed all instructions brilliantly.
Unfortunately, we missed many chances to score."
Juve boss Luigi
del Neri said: "I’m happy with the result – which is a good base for the
return leg – but not with my team’s performance. (…) We faced a strong
opponent tonight who had the support of impressive fans'', Austrian Times has reported.
The
result means that the Austrian ÖFB Cup champions – who came in fourth in
the past Bundesliga season – must win the second leg in Turin next week
to reach the event’s group stage.
Sturm defeated Georgian club
FC Dinamo Tbilisi in the third qualification round to play Juventus, for
whom Austrian goalkeeper Alexander Manninger did not keep goal last
night.
Meanwhile, Rapid Vienna had just a 1-1 draw against English club Aston Villa in their Europa League qualifier.
Barry Bannan took the lead in the 12th minute, before Rapid’s German midfielder Steffen Hofmann equalised 20 minutes later.
Rapid,
who came in third in the 2009/2010 season, had the better chances to
win the match. The Green-Whites reached the group stage of the previous
Europa League by knocking out Villa at the same stage.
Austrian
Bundesliga vice champions Austria Vienna lost the first leg of their
Europa League qualifier against Thessaloniki F.C. in Greece 0-1 on
Tuesday.
Red Bull Salzburg boss Huub Stevens only sees a 30 per
cent chance of reaching the UEFA Champions League’s group stage after
his team lost their first leg clash with
Israeli champions Hapoel Tel Aviv F.C. 2-3 on Wednesday.
