Werder player Markus Rosenberg and the Swedish national team lost their first match of the Euro 2012 against co-hosts Ukraine 2-1. The Bremen striker was in the starting line-up but was subbed out after 71 minutes.

The star of the night was Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko as the 35-year-old former world class forward scored both goals in the 55th and 61st minutes, sending not only the Ukrainian fans at Kiev's Olympic Stadium into ecstasy but the entire country. The goals came after Zlatan Ibrahimovic had given Sweden the lead in the 52nd minute. After the loss, Sweden will still face England and France, who drew on Monday 1-1.
