Lions lose in injury time in Turin

Aalborg beat Portuguese outfit for first points

A penalty in the dying seconds doomed FC Copenhagen to a 0-1 defeat against Torino in their Europa League Group B match-up last night.

The Lions had defended well against sustained pressure from the Italians all game until Mikael Antonssen gave away the spotkick that Fabio Quagliarella confidently converted three minutes into injury time.

With Club Brugge beating HJK Helsinki 3-0 away in the group's other match, FCK now sit third with three points, one point behind the Belgians and Torino.

Aalborg on the board
The news was better for Denmark's other team in the Europa League as AaB Aalborg beat Rio Ave 1-0 at home in Group J – the team's first points after getting drilled by Steaua Bucharest last round.

Nicklas Helenius headed in the only goal of the match just after the break to hand the Danes the spoils against the Portuguese team.

The win puts AaB in third with three points. Dynamo Kiev lead the group after beating the Romanians 3-1.
