Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri was happy with his team's efforts, despite last night's 1-1 draw at home to Catania.

The Bianconeri had taken the lead through Amauri, but couldn't fight back after Gianvito Plasmati's equaliser.

"In the last half-hour we tried everything to score, but the ball didn't want to go in. It's a shame," said Ranieri.

"We wasted a lot of chances, but this is football and one day the game will come where we only need a couple of opportunities to win. We'll do better in time."

He continued: "Catania worked hard, clammed up and if you don't have the right pace in moving the ball around, you can't break them down."
