\Italy coach Cesare Prandelli believes that their 1-1 draw with Spain in their opening Euro 2012 match was a fair result.
The Italians were both sturdy in defence and exciting on attack and produced a performance that will surely fill their players with confidence.
Antonio Di Natale put the Italians ahead on the hour mark just moments after coming on as a substitute but Cesc Fabregas netted an equaliser four minutes later.
"I think it was the right result," Prandelli told Rai tv.
"There is a slight regret that we conceded so soon after we had scored.
"The important thing is that the players have done what I asked them. We played well and played as a team."
Di Natale has to wait patiently for his turn after Mario Balotelli was given a starting role, but the goalscorer was not worried about starting on the bench.
"I'm happy to have been able to score just a few minutes after coming onto the pitch," he added.
"I am at the disposal of the coach and I will play whenever it is possible. The draw was a good result for us." SoccerLaduma
