Wieghorst praises defeated Queens

Wieghorst admitted that the visitors created more chances

Nordsjaelland head coach Morten Wieghorst applauded Queen of the South's efforts in the Scottish side's 2-1 defeat in the Uefa Cup.

"I must give lot of credit to Queens," said the former Celtic and Dundee midfielder after the 4-2 aggregate win. "My players looked under pressure.

"They couldn't handle it in the first half and we got off to a dreadful start with the early goal for Queens.

"Overall, I think Queens had more chances than us."

Nordsjaelland skipper Rene Kildentoft added: "It wasn't an easy game.

"We knew it would be tough, because our manager Morten Wieghorst has played against First Division teams in Scotland himself and he told us they would go for it all the way.

"Looking back at the game, I would say we delivered a mixed performance - a very bad first half and a good second half.

"But we won and now we've gained some confidence by progressing in the Uefa Cup."
