SAMARA, Russia (Reuters) - Australia coach Bert van Marwijk rued the Socceroos' failure to conjure a second goal in the 1-1 draw against Denmark on Thursday, yet left the nation's proven World Cup game-breaker Tim Cahill cooling his heels on the bench for the entire match.

After Mile Jedinak's first-half penalty cancelled out Christian Eriksen's superb early strike, the Socceroos streamed forward in numbers after the break but could not buy a goal in the Group C game.
