Azzurrini defeat Sweden 2-1 featuring the best and worst of Mario Balotelli

After the 0-0 draw with Serbia in the opening match, the game against hosts Sweden was very important, as a loss or a draw would've put Italy's chances of getting out of the group in lots of trouble. Fortunately, the Azzurrini stood up to the task, winning 2-1 and putting them in a strong position to advance to the semi-final.
