Italy beats Sweden 1-0 in friendly
November 18, 2009
CESENA, Italy (AP) -Italy beat Sweden 1-0 in a friendly Wednesday featuring reserves on both sides.
One of the few normal starters for the World Cup champions, Giorgio Chiellini, put the hosts ahead in the 28th minute. The Juventus defender headed in at the far post following a corner kick.
Italy coach Marcello Lippi sent home Gianluigi Buffon, Fabio Cannavaro, Gianluca Zambrotta and Andrea Pirlo after Saturday's 0-0 draw with the Netherlands. Sweden was without forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is taking a break from the national team.
The game marked the debut of Sweden coach Erik Hamren.
