Pic/AFP The Italians dominated for the most part and while Stephan El Shaarawy headed them ahead on 15 minutes, Tim Matavz ensured the tie remained poised ahead of next Wednesday&rsquo;s return in Italy. &ldquo;We are disappointed because we are commenting on a draw that could have been a victory,&rdquo; Allegri said. &ldquo;We struggled at the beginning of the game, after the advantage we had a couple of chances to double the lead. We played a good game against a team that has played its sixth game of the season and is very skillful. &ldquo;In the first half we read some situations incorrectly while in the second half defensively we were good.u00a0&ldquo;We won the ball back well in the second half, but we were too far apart in the first. We are disappointed not to have won.&rdquo; El Shaarawy admitted his side&rsquo;s failure to finish has left them with a tricky return leg at the San Siro next Wednesday.u00a0&ldquo;Hopefully we will go through but they are a very good side,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We know it will be a difficult game at the San Siro. We had a couple of chances to double the lead and they equalised when we were on top. We are pleased with the performance, we played the game at a good tempo as they were more match fit than us.&rdquo; Other results &gt; Shakhter Karagandy 2 (Finonchenko 12, Khizhnichenko 77) Celtic 0 &gt; Lyon 0 Real Sociedad 2 (Griezmann 17, Seferovic 50)u00a0Pacos de Ferreira 1 (Andre 58) Zenit St Petersburg 4 (Shirokov 27, 60, 90, Degra 85-og) &gt; Viktoria Plzen 3 (Cisovsky 8, Darida 58, Duris 89) Maribor 1 (Mejac 66)u00a0
