00:00Now without internationals Van Arle and Erwin Koeman both injured and Van Tegelen who's suspended
00:05but there's still a firm backbone to this side with Van Bruckle in goal, the Romanian Popescu at the
00:10heart of the defence and the mercurial Brazilian Romario leading their attack. Milan's problem is
00:16who among their foreign players do they leave out? Remember only three can play. So the Frenchman
00:21Papin is the one who's missing tonight as Milan go for the three Dutchman, Hullit, Rijkaard and the
00:26man who got all four in the last game against Gothenburg, Van Basten. Our referee tonight is the
00:33Russian Alexey Spirien. So a match that promises so much is underway, a European masterclass really
00:41in skill and finesse and what Romario would have frightened the Milanese with that to beat
00:46Beresi as easily as he did here. This is a wonderful piece of skill by the little Brazilian just back in
00:52the Brazilian side, wonderful skills there. Beresi going the wrong way, the flag is up for offside.
00:56And Basten's turned away there, chipped it to the far side. And it's in there from Rijkaard.
01:07And Milan are in the lead. From a goal scored from an impossible angle really there. Van Basten the provider this time, so often the scorer. And Rijkaard coming in and Van Broeckelen badly missing out.
01:25There's the cross by Van Broeckelen. You would have thought Van Broeckelen would have covered that but he went back across him and although it's finished off there by the number 11 Simone, it's Rijkaard's goal.
01:37And Milan go into the lead, with 19 minutes of the game gone. Rijkaard's gone into the middle, poured away there by Van Broeckelen. Now Lintini with the shots. Saved by Van Broeckelen.
01:51Van Broeckelen without real power there from the number 7. Time is Lintini.
01:58Maldini's also made a break. Still with Lintini, his shots. And a goal kick.
02:04Barrezi.
02:09Barrezi.
02:11Whilst wasn't a good one by Barrezi, it comes now to Vandenberg.
02:14Played forward again for Newman. Kieft is in the middle and so too is Romario.
02:18She's got a stack here now by PSV.
02:22Vandenberg losing out.
02:25Physical challenge there from Barrezi. And suddenly it's Van Basten chasing at the other end.
02:30But Faber does well. His nerve held that time.
02:34Eranio now, the substitute on for Rudholit.
02:37Knocking it in. Pepescu will get it away.
02:41Up to Huescu. There's a bit more passion about the game as well as skill.
02:45Many of that in the first half without the passion.
02:48But now that's beginning to come to the surface here in the second half.
02:51Pepescu. Almost caught there by Eranio.
02:54Devans. Newman. Devans again. Pepescu.
03:03Out by Maldini.
03:06Taking off on another of his runs. Getting the ball back.
03:09Finding Rijkaard with it. And now Eranio.
03:12Rijkaard's waiting in the middle. Van Basten's in there too.
03:16And it's a goal. Which Simony has scored for Milan.
03:252-0.
03:30Rijkaard at the head of it.
03:33Eranio making a great run here. Just coming on as a substitute.
03:37The cross comes in under the near post. There's Simony. He caught it beautifully.
03:43Van Bruckelen half stopped it. But the power was such that he really couldn't save it.
03:48And Milano to ahead. Marco Simony the scorer of the second one.
03:53Famous Milanese theme song from The Sting.
04:08Bringing out around the Phillips Stadium.
04:10But Beresi.
04:12Needing to defend here against Little Vandenberg.
04:15They claim a handball there. Can Romario turn!
04:18Romario!
04:20Beautiful turn. And a really powerful shot beyond Rossi into the roof of that Milan net.
04:40Superb little Brazilian. Some good work there by Vandenberg.
04:43They claim handball there against Beresi in the end.
04:45He didn't have it onto the knee. And a whiplash shot over his shoulder.
04:49By Romario. Giovanna.
04:512-1 now.
