Later into the night, the real fun started, as Italy played Faroe Islands. Andrea Pirlo was at his best, assisting Alberto Gilardino’s goal and scored a superb free kick in the 90′ minute.
The Azzurri beat Faroe Islands 5-0. Gilardino scored first in the 12′ minute; Daniele De Rossi doubled it after 10 minutes. It was 3-0 before the break, Antonio Cassano. Fabio Quagliarella and Pirlo scored in the last ten minutes.
Sweden easily beat San Marino 6-0. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored first. Davide Simoncini and Aldo Junior Simoncini scored owned goals before the break. Andreas Granqvist, Ibra and Marcus Berg netted in the second half.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos started for Greece, and did his job. However, his side couldn’t find Croatia’s net. Nil-nil draw at the final whistle.
Colombia, captained by Milan’s Mario Yepes, lost 1-0 to Mexico on a friendly match last night from a late goal scored by Elias Hernandez. The veteran played good though.
