Football: Juventus held to home draw
FILIPPO INZAGHI salvaged a 1-1 draw for Juventus at home to Dynamo Kiev in the first leg of their Champions' Cup quarter-final in Turin last night.
Inzaghi pounced on a rebound, from Edgar Davids' header, 20 minutes from time after Juventus had wasted several chances. Andrei Gusin had put the Ukrainian champions ahead in one of their rare attacks in the 56th minute but, despite having to settle for a draw, Dynamo are slight favourites to go through after the second leg on 18 March.
The defending champions, Borussia Dortmund, emerged from the first leg of the all-German tie in Munich with a goalless draw against Bayern, while the third German survivors, Bayer Leverkusen, were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Real Madrid. The former Aston Villa player, Stefan Beinlich, put Leverkusen ahead in the 18th minute, but the Frenchman, Christian Karembeu, equalised in the 74th.
