The only player from the Italian Serie A in this match was Sweden and Inter striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It's a total lost for Sweden who despite not giving up and fighting until the end could not change the score. 



The match started  with a wrong foot!  Just in less than 3 minutes and Sweden forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic commits a foul on Sergei Ignashevich iconceding an early free kick.

The first goal  happened in the 24th minute with Roman Pavlyuchenko shooting from 12 yards. A beautiful goal and a cold shower for Sweden.

In the 50th minute, there you go!  Arshavin gets an assist from Zhirkov blasting Sweden goalkeeper and the hopes for Sweden to continue in the quarterfinals were not looking bright.

I was expecting a goal from Ibrahimovic and he could not.  Wow.
