Sweden - England, 2 - 2. Köln, Cologne, Germany, 2006-06-20
This was a well refereed match. Not a lot to do for Busacca, but what he did do was correct. The match was not of a particularly high standard. One high and one low in this match. Joe Cole's goal was the high - a volleyed curve ball right into the top corner. The low: Michael Owen's akward injury, his leg just gave way beneath him after only 2 minutes of play.
