Euro 2012 qualifers:Brian Kerr's Faroe Islands side came within a whisker of another famous victory but were denied by an injury-time sucker punch against Estonia this evening.

Estonia substitute Kaimar Saag scored twice in stoppage time to secure a 2-1 victory in the first Euro 2012 qualifier of the new campaign.

The hosts trailed to a 28th minute strike from Joan Edmundsson and were then frustrated for long periods by solid defending from the Islanders who restricted their opponents to long-range strikes.

With time running out, Estonia turned the game on its head as Saag, a 62nd minute replacement, struck twice in as many minutes in injury time to get their Group C campaign off to a winning start.
