THREE Rossoneros played yesterday in the first round of the Euro 2012 qualification matches while others trained and played friendlies.
Italy, after a dissipating World Cup played Estonia. Despite Sergey Zenjov scored first, New Azzurri captain Andrea Pirlo assisted Antonio Cassano’s equalizer. Leonardo Bonucci scored too. 1-2 to Italy.
Despite not scoring, Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a decent game when Sweden beat Hungary 2-0 thanks to Pontus Wernbloom’s brace.
Deschamps: ‘Milan back on top’
Montelongo: ‘It is a dream for me to be at Milan’
Sokratis Papastathopoulos started alongside Nikos Spiropoulos in Grecce’s defense, but they conceded a goal very fast, scored by Alexander Iashvili. Papa had a good game afterwards, as Greece found the equalizer through Spiropoulos.
Meanwhile, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Rodney Strasser will be in action on Sunday for the qualification phase of the Africa Cup of Nations 2012. Boateng will play Swaziland with Ghana while Strasser’s Sierra Leone will be facing Egypt.
Mario Yepes captained Colombia last night when they beat Venezuela 2-0 in a friendly match, with goals from Juan Guillermo Cuadrado and Dayron Moreno.
Thiago Silva, Alexandre Pato and Robinho are currently on Barcelona in Brazil’s training camp.

Estonia was very very good. Some foult in the defense and italy was leading. Estonia goal was a Sirigu’s mistake.
