Italy came from behind with two second-half goals to snatch a 2-1 win in Estonia in their opening Euro 2012 qualifier tonight.

Antonio Cassano equalised on the hour mark before setting up Leonardo Bonucci three minutes later for the Azzurri's second.

Sergei Zenjov had put Estonia ahead in the 31st minute and the home side were unlucky not to add to their advantage when Sander Puri's right-footed strike beat Italy goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu but hit the crossbar and stayed out.
