FIFA World Ranking points
Remember the formula? In this case, I=2.5 as it's a continental qualifier, and C=1 for all the Euro 2012 matches.
For Estonia, T (strength of opponent) = (200-118)/100 = 0.82, and for the Faroe Islands, T=1.06.
Since the match was a victory for Estonia, they get 2.5*82*3=615 points, and Faroe Islands get no points.
Match summary
The Faroe Islands started well, scoring a goal through Edmundsson in the 28th minute. It didn't stop him getting booked, however, with three yellow cards for his team in the first half. Estonia, meanwhile, also had opportunities on goal, but were less violent in their challenges. It's not easy to tell exactly which team played better when you can only read the UEFA MatchCentre commentary – which is nowhere near as good as FIFA's MatchCast from the World Cup.
In the second half, there were an incredible two last-minute goals from Estonia's Saag and several substitutions. Faroe Islands received a fourth yellow card. The game ended 2-1 to Estonia.
