After scoring his first goal for Juventus, attacker Marko Pjaca said he was eager for more game time.

Juventus attacker Marko Pjaca said he wanted more game time at the Serie A giants after scoring his first goal for the club.

The Croatia international came off the bench to open the scoring in his side's 2-0 win over Porto in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Pjaca, a €23million signing for Juve from Dinamo Zagreb in July, has been made to wait for his chances by coach Massimiliano Allegri.

The 21-year-old's excellent finish put his team ahead in the last-16 first leg and Pjaca said he was eager for more opportunities.

"I'm very happy happy for the goal but the victory is the most important thing," he said.

"Of course I want more playing time, I know I must improve.

"Allegri? He makes his choices and I'm waiting for my moment."

Pjaca has started just two games for Juve this season, but was praised by Allegri for a change in attitude.
