00:00The supporters have turned out today, an absolutely lovely autumnal day here in Florence.
00:10Milan have had the better of Fiorentina of late.
00:13They are unbeaten in their last three against Fiorentina,
00:16and most importantly, won the most recent game, 5-3.
00:18That being said, you have to go back quite a long way
00:22for the last time Milan actually won back-to-back games against Fiorentina.
00:26These two sides know a lot about drawing with each other.
00:31It will be the mother of understatements.
00:34The two sides here have no opponent they've drawn with more than the other.
00:39As you can see, Severini saw a lovely banner there as we were coming on screen.
00:44Her as Superwoman, so we can tell who the Fiorentina fans are behind,
00:48and here are our officials for today.
00:50Alessandro Colelli will be the man in the middle.
01:09As we are seeing the Fiorentina side just stopping for their pre-match photo.
01:13And we look at the line-ups now.
01:21Milan going out 4-3-3 here.
01:24Safia, Piga, De Sanders and Keijer with Giuliani, of course, in goals.
01:28Mascarello will be the pivot there,
01:30while Ije will be looking for good ball from Kivak and Renzotti.
01:33Milan players just psyching each other up before this game.
01:48Giuliani, of course, the goalkeeper, also the captain.
01:52As we see the Fiorentina line-up.
01:54Again, 4-3-3, Fisker-Strand in goals.
01:57Johansson, Ferger, van der Zanden and Vuldvik.
02:00Ciarabini, Severini, of course, and Schnerle.
02:02With Bredger and Janagi feeding Omer's daughter, the Icelandic, in the middle.
02:06And Janagi is one of the most exciting players I've found in Serie A in recent years.
02:10So keep an eye on that young woman.
02:12She is going to be one to watch here today.
02:14She will be running hard and often.
02:19There isn't a ball she thinks she can't win.
02:24And that's a signal as Milan will kick off.
02:30They are playing from left to right on your screen.
02:32Starting things off here in Florence.
02:35Milan looking to bounce back after defeat last week.
02:38Fiorentina, of course, looking for their first victory of the season.
02:42Only the third game day in Serie A.
02:47One of the world's top leagues, has to be said.
02:51And there's a bit of a chance for a break here quickly, but neatly escorted out of play there.
02:59Milan with a throw in Fiorentina territory early.
03:03Going quick and hard at that throw, but maybe not the connection she wanted.
03:10Milan seek to keep control, play it along midfield here.
03:14It's gone right back to the halfway line.
03:17But it's a lovely ball up the left, but just couldn't place it right.
03:23EJ, though, has managed to retain possession.
03:27Milan camped out in a Fiorentina half to start off this game.
03:32And that ball will safely go over the end line.
03:37And nothing comes from the first attack.
03:39As you can see, he's known as Archie.
03:45The coach here for the home side.
03:59Fiorentina, well, playing it very, very tight at the back from the kickouts, as you can see.
04:04Just trying to punt this forward.
04:07They've yet to really touch, they have yet to touch the ball themselves.
04:11Here, making sure that's changed.
04:15As they look to build up this left flank.
04:17There is Yanagi.
04:19She's trying to get through and around.
04:22She's eventually muscled off it.
04:24Fine defense there by Aragonian.
04:26The throw-in coming here for Fiorentina.
04:34Going short to Yanagi.
04:36Yanagi, punching it across.
04:39Chrysler penalty.
04:40Or for he says that was an incidental contact, but it might be a very hard incidental contact.
04:45We may be coming back there.
04:47Looks like Omosdorfer is the one down, while Milan are breaking up the left flank.
04:52Players coming into the box for her, but she can't place it right.
04:55But it's back there.
04:56Well, that's some good recovery.
04:58Having a punt from a long, long way, but that's far too easy for Fisker Strand.
05:05Renzotti decided to have a go.
05:07It was very much recovering that ball.
05:09Figured the best option.
05:10Go long, but it was straight at Fisker Strand.
05:13Too predictable, unfortunately, for her.
05:16Oh, that's a lovely move up the inside from the right.
05:19It can, Fiorentina, build something.
05:25Just going up the left again.
05:30That's a fair inside for her point of attack, really.
05:33Because it can go to Yanagi here.
05:37She keeps recovering.
05:41They go back down the left.
05:44Struggling, though, to maintain possession.
05:47That's a really good defensive pressure from Milan early.
05:53Yanagi just about stayed on side there.
05:55And she's moved brilliantly here.
05:56Now Yanagi looking to play it inside, looking for the cross.
05:59But far too easy for Giuliani.
06:07Giuliani just rolling it tightly.
06:08Mila have to be a little bit smarter playing out from the back.
06:18Sanders and Tiga just working together nicely.
06:21At the Sofia here.
06:31They're just controlling at the back.
06:34Fiorentina holding off and going full high press here, as you can see.
06:36Giuliani.
06:41Giuliani.
06:42Venci punts long to the left.
06:47They've got to recycle back again.
06:50Now they go forward, looking for that long ball.
06:54One in midfield.
06:57That will be a free to Fiorentina.
07:04Mascarello getting physical early.
07:06As Fiorentina again, look to build up that left flank.
07:16Feeding Yanagi now.
07:17But that's too short a ball.
07:18Not enough for Yanagi to run onto.
07:19But Giuliani has to go first time with the clearance.
07:24That's neatly punted through.
07:27But it will be a Fiorentina ball.
07:28So La Viola having slightly the better of the opening five minutes.
07:33His backer just looking on stoically really so far, the Milan coach.
07:37He's going to do the little chip and chase.
07:48Didn't work out.
07:49But Fisker Strand, smartly for his time.
07:51Recognised the pressure.
07:54It's a bit of a fight for that ball in midfield.
07:56And it's won very well.
07:58Milan with a big chance to break her.
07:59Going up the left.
08:01That's the cross.
08:02It's deflected.
08:03But it's deflected into the hands of Fisker Strand.
08:06She's in good control of her area early on in these opening minutes.
08:10We're just joining us five minutes in.
08:12Serie A.
08:14Fiorentina, Milan and it's nil all so far.
08:16A couple of chances for Fiorentina.
08:19Well, half chances.
08:20One shot as such for Milan.
08:22But it was very comfortable for Fisker Strand.
08:24As they're trying to once again unleash Yanagi and her speed.
08:27Giuliani has got to get onto this.
08:29And she does comfortably.
08:29Giuliani has been very patient so far.
08:45Well, that's been punted through.
08:46But not to a player in purple.
08:49But once again, Giuliani has to be smart.
08:51Playing it very short in her own box.
08:53That is a gambler's move.
08:55It appears to have paid off.
08:57And there is a chance for a two-on-one chase here.
09:02EJ just offloading it.
09:03Yes, she does.
09:05Brilliant ball now.
09:05Who's on the inside?
09:07It's all purple.
09:08But not now.
09:08That's the first.
09:09Oh, deflected.
09:10EJ though.
09:10Chance to follow up.
09:11EJ controls it well.
09:13She's trying to put it through the gap.
09:14Too many bodies in purple.
09:16But brilliant, brilliant work.
09:17By the striker, EJ, for Milan to keep that move alive.
09:23Repeatedly looked like it was breaking down.
09:25She kept it going.
09:27And it will be a Milan throw deep in Fiorentina territory.
09:30Playing it down to the baseline.
09:45EJ trying to use her power to win that back.
09:46It does work.
09:47And that will surely be a free to Milan.
09:49It will be.
09:49Bread guard all the way back there.
10:03And really not her key skill set, you might say, with tackling.
10:09Mascarello is one of the players standing over this.
10:11EJ and Safiya both in the box.
10:23Big chance here for Milan, you'd think.
10:28Mascarello will take it.
10:29Whips it in low.
10:30Headed away.
10:35But it is retained.
10:38Milan look to build again.
10:40They pump it forward.
10:41Flag has stayed down for now.
10:44But they can't keep it in play.
10:48Just too much there for Doran to chase it down.
10:56Fiorentina trying to play it out in the back.
10:57And the pressure immediately paying off for Milan.
11:00EJ, what a move.
11:01EJ is trying to take on a second player now.
11:03She's got to find a yellow jersey.
11:04She does.
11:06Oh, but that one-two does not pay off.
11:09Fiorentina living dangerously.
11:11And they still are.
11:14Outside now.
11:15Left flank.
11:16And bad first touch.
11:17Keeps it in.
11:18The header is there.
11:18Takes a deflection.
11:19But somehow,
11:21Fiskerstrand reads the deflection off Ferga perfectly.
11:25That could have been a disaster for Fiorentina.
11:28But watch Fiskerstrand in goal on this replay.
11:31The way she is reading the flight the whole way.
11:34Just doesn't overcommit at any point.
11:37Is able to get there very easily.
11:39Could have been an OG.
11:40Instead, Fiorentina stays scoreless.
11:42Fiskerstrand off to a very, very smart start here in this game.
11:46But she's had to be.
11:48Yenagi.
12:05Yenagi.
12:06Inside.
12:08Back to Yenagi.
12:08She likes of them to run on to.
12:12Oh, and that's sure.
12:13Oh, that could well be a card.
12:14And it may not only be a yellow.
12:16She is very, very lucky there.
12:18That was a vicious tackle.
12:20Kayser.
12:23The first name in the book.
12:31I think she was spared by it not being a clear goal scoring opportunity.
12:34Although, even then, debatable.
12:39So, Bradgard is standing over this.
12:48Mascarello.
12:48Being told where she has to stand.
12:51Snerla there with Bradgard.
12:54Giuliani.
12:55Trying to organize what she's got in front of her.
12:57Huge opportunity from the left side now for Fiorentina.
13:06Looks like Bradgard is going to leave it for Snerla.
13:13She does.
13:13Bradgard makes her run.
13:15Snerla.
13:16Whipping it.
13:16Back post.
13:17Still there.
13:18Bradgard.
13:19Takes to the flexion.
13:20It'll be a corner.
13:22Indeed, no.
13:23They said to go to Fiorentina.
13:24Touch last.
13:26The Fiorentina player isn't sensed.
13:29But it will be a goal kick.
13:36Well, argument for free out there as well.
13:38Because it looked like Fargo is holding back a Milan defender.
13:41As it is, ball is back at Fiorentina with Fargo indeed in her own half.
13:48Relatively quiet right now.
13:59But we've had plenty of excitement so far here.
14:01And it's a little bit of a gap.
14:02And it's a little bit of a gap when you're playing this close to your box.
14:04And it's a little bit of a gap when you're playing this close to your box.
14:07Gets a lucky break as it's out for a throw.
14:09And it's a little bit of a gap when you're playing this close to your box.
14:15But it's repaid in kind.
14:16And that'll be an easy, soft goal kick.
14:19Giuliani, who has been patient, looked to rush this.
14:22She goes short.
14:26Again, it's a little bit of a gap when you're playing this close to your box.
14:33Looking to gallop there, but opts against.
14:36It's going all the way back to Giuliani.
14:37It has to be quick now.
14:39Oh, that's a beautiful pass by Giuliani.
14:41Giuliani, excellent play by the Milan goalkeeper.
14:47But Fiorentina's press is forcing Milan into the box there.
14:52But not right now.
14:53They've managed to break out.
15:03Milan pumping it forward.
15:11Fiorentina just at their own back now, trying to defend.
15:15They have made life needlessly hard for themselves at times in these opening 13 minutes.
15:21And once again, they're doing that as a big chance for Milan.
15:23Doesn't have a pop.
15:24Obstapass.
15:25Oh, Mascarello.
15:28And Renzotti.
15:29Not the play Vendoran needed.
15:36So this Fisker strand, who's had a superb display of really the full range of goalkeeping skills.
15:43Passing, saving, area control.
15:46Really has just shown a high, high standard in these opening minutes.
15:51Fiorentina back on the attack with Yanagi now.
15:53Yanagi loves a chase.
15:54And she's won this one physically as well.
15:57Yanagi looking to cross in from the left.
15:58Goes straight to Giuliani.
16:00Giuliani has to go for a second attempt, but does gather it.
16:07Well, you know what you're getting with Yanagi.
16:09She wants to run and she wants to cross.
16:11Milan.
16:19Oh, and that'll be a free out to Milan.
16:23Redguard again.
16:24She's got to be a little bit careful now.
16:38Milan looking to gallop here on the right.
16:41Renzotti.
16:44Bit of a hospital pass to Mascarello there.
16:48Omar's daughter will just marshal us back.
16:50Force Giuliani to have a think.
16:55Yanagi is cutting off the short option of what it looked like she was.
16:59They still go short.
17:00And it leads to a throw for Milan.
17:03That is, say, Fiorentina.
17:05That's just dreadful work out from their own back third there for Milan.
17:08Ferraga.
17:10Back and tied her own half.
17:13Fiorentina looking to accelerate things a bit here.
17:17Redguard.
17:18Redguard.
17:19Oh, lovely ball in.
17:20But Giuliani reads it all the way.
17:23That was never getting to Yanagi.
17:24Giuliani coming into this game more now.
17:27They come up to 15 minutes.
17:28Still scoreless here with plenty of action between Fiorentina and Milan so far.
17:32Fiorentina continue to press Milan inside their own half.
17:43They're just looking to break out here.
17:46And the Rossoneri giving that ball away badly.
17:49But Yanagi couldn't get the touch he needed.
17:51And that'll be back with Giuliani.
17:54Who looks to go quickly here.
17:55But the quick option cut off pretty quickly here.
18:03Now they can go up the right.
18:08And once again, Fiorentina bringing that pressure, bringing that heat, and winning that ball back.
18:14Yanagi.
18:16It's looking.
18:17She couldn't get in position.
18:19They're going far wing now.
18:21There's options on the inside.
18:22Flag has stayed down.
18:23Has a pop.
18:24It's a corner.
18:24But offside is called at the end of the play.
18:31Redguard.
18:34Did look like she went to second early there.
18:36But oof.
18:37This might not be the best for Fiorentina.
18:40Yanagi is down.
18:42And that weapon they have on the left flank.
18:46She's hurt.
18:46That could be absolutely catastrophic for Fiorentina's chances here.
18:54Those of you just joining us.
19:04It's nil off.
19:05Fiorentina had certainly the better of the chances.
19:08But Milan, very much competitive here.
19:12Nothing really clear cut so far.
19:13The closest chance, in fairness, was actually the near OG by Ferga, which was excellently saved by Fiskerstrand.
19:21We tend not to talk about OGs that are avoided too much because you don't see them being so obviously a case of good work by the keeper.
19:29But in this case, it really was.
19:30Fiskerstrand had to adjust, read the movement very well and was ready and able to stop that near catastrophe about two meters from her own goal line.
19:40So Yanagi looks like she'll be able to come back.
19:45She's jogging back into position indeed to come back on the field.
19:50So I think Fiorentina will have their star back shortly.
20:00Playing it oof.
20:01And that's a terrible pass along the side.
20:03Been quiet enough for the Fiorentina captain Severini so far.
20:06We haven't seen her move her way into the game too much yet.
20:08And this is not ideal from Fiorentina.
20:15Just giving that ball back to Milan.
20:19Benzotti has to go back.
20:25Piga going back again.
20:26Sanders and Piga just moving that ball.
20:30Going forward now.
20:31EJ.
20:33EJ likes what she sees.
20:38She's so good at commanding that ball.
20:41And what a turn.
20:41Takes that two defenders.
20:44She's got three on her now though.
20:45So she has to roll it off.
20:50Benzotti's cross.
20:51Cut out pretty easily in the end.
20:53But it's still there.
20:56Milan continue to press.
20:58Up to this right side.
20:59Chipping it through.
21:00And it's chipped through well.
21:01Renzotti.
21:02Quick cross.
21:03Low.
21:03But too low.
21:05But it's right back with Renzotti.
21:09Renzotti again.
21:11Taking on her marker now.
21:13Renzotti goes low across the box.
21:14It's there.
21:15No.
21:15Oh.
21:17Oh.
21:18Well.
21:19First time was the only way to hit that.
21:21But.
21:23That was.
21:25Quite inaccurate by Kiv Dag.
21:31Kiv Dag just.
21:32Never controlling that at all.
21:38Goal was open for her.
21:39But she had to go first time.
21:41And just did not get the accuracy required.
21:43Certainly had Fiskerstrand beaten.
21:50Quirantina.
21:51Try to build from the back again.
21:53Renzotti.
21:54Just marshalling nicely here for Milan.
21:58Aviola.
21:58Building with Ferga.
22:03Going out to that left.
22:04Keeping it there.
22:06It will come back for a throw there.
22:08If Riesel was out of play on the sideline.
22:10It would have gone out on the end line.
22:11So.
22:12Milan throw.
22:13Midway between their box and their half.
22:21And it's out again.
22:22For yet another Milan throw.
22:24A bit closer to the halfway line this time.
22:25As they try to go long.
22:38No good this time.
22:40Just Milan trying to build out here.
22:51But the high press with Fiskerstrand has been their best weapon so far.
22:54EJ couldn't get the touch to control.
22:57She may have been a half yard off anyway.
22:5920 minutes gone.
23:0020 minutes gone.
23:01Still scoreless here.
23:02But Milan have come close very recently there.
23:05Should have really gone ahead through Kivak.
23:07But instead it's Fiorentina.
23:11Now looking to build through Ferga.
23:12To try to put that through the gap.
23:18But too many yellow jerseys there.
23:20With Giuliani.
23:21Again going short.
23:22And again giving away a throw.
23:25This short passing from Giuliani.
23:28Has been causing Milan.
23:29Well problems of their own doing really.
23:37Severini.
23:39Severini.
23:40Severini trying to fight to win it back.
23:44But it's a chance to break here.
23:46It's Renzotti.
23:47Renzotti is ready to gallop here.
23:51Does a little high step.
23:52Gets to EJ.
23:53EJ pushed off that ball.
23:55Referee says play on.
23:57Looked a clear foul.
23:59From our vantage point.
24:01That will be a Milan throw.
24:05Just a moment of memory lapse there I think for Fiorentina.
24:08Go to that throw.
24:09But they have put it out back.
24:14Throw for Milan at midfield.
24:17Having to build from the back again.
24:19Piga.
24:24Look to go up this left flank now.
24:26Milan.
24:27Bredgaard chasing back.
24:29For Fiorentina.
24:33Ascurello.
24:36Trying to play it on the inside.
24:37It's cut off.
24:38Yanagi wants to run.
24:39This is there for Yanagi.
24:41But Giuliani was going to get on to it.
24:43Brilliant awareness by Giuliani.
24:45Was out like a shot.
24:47Realized the danger.
24:49The chance of that one on one run for Yanagi was gone.
24:52Here's EJ now.
24:53EJ playing it in.
24:54That was a lovely pass.
24:55But it was a terrible first touch.
24:58Milan keeping the pressure on though.
25:00Severini.
25:03Severini.
25:05Oh.
25:05Couldn't quite get the control she wanted on that pass.
25:18And that.
25:19Well.
25:19Looked like it should have been a free for obstruction there.
25:21But we're free saying play on.
25:22So Milan have this ball.
25:24Nicely left.
25:25Playing it now down the right side.
25:30Renzotti.
25:31Is going to whip that first time.
25:33But straight to a defender.
25:38So Fiorentina have to try and play back now.
25:39Fiorentina though.
25:41Well this is some dangerous games here for themselves.
25:44And they've turned it over.
25:45Deep in their own territory.
25:46But Milan just couldn't build quickly there.
25:51So they've got a reset here.
25:54Certainly the liveier side so far Milan.
25:59Back to Sanders.
26:03Sanders going out.
26:05To the left.
26:12Just neat build up play here.
26:14From Milan.
26:18It's there for EJ.
26:19Well she's out with it.
26:20So many players so far.
26:21Can't she do it again.
26:23Not this time.
26:25But she does manage to.
26:26Well.
26:27Briefly get the ball back.
26:28And eventually ends up fouling.
26:31Yanagi.
26:40Yeah.
26:41I think that's one of the ones you're going to go.
26:43Well that's a bit of a giveaway.
26:44As it is.
26:45Severini on the ball.
26:46Looking to build here for Fiorentina.
26:50Breadguard.
26:52Breadguard.
26:54Oh it's a nice ball.
26:55If they can get on to it.
26:56They can.
26:56And surely it's a penalty.
26:57And the referee points to the spot.
26:59No doubt about it.
27:01And out of nowhere.
27:02Fiorentina with a huge huge chance.
27:04Well we were saying it was a good ball.
27:14If she could get on to it.
27:15She did.
27:16And.
27:18Very quickly.
27:20Out of.
27:21Just flew in there with the tackle.
27:23Penalty is called.
27:25No doubt about it.
27:26Will be Severini to take.
27:38Fiorentina.
27:40So the captain.
27:41Against the other captain of course.
27:43Fiorentina.
27:46To give Fiorentina the lead.
27:47It's 25 minutes just gone.
27:49We're in the 26th minute.
27:50And her first goal of the season.
28:20She is adored by these Fiorentina fans.
28:30And well she's given them the lead.
28:33Fiorentina were looking for their first win of the season.
28:50So Neil and having had probably you'd argue the closer chances so far are the side trailing now.
29:01Fiorentina.
29:03Fiorentina.
29:04Fiorentina.
29:05Fiorentina.
29:06Fiorentina.
29:07Fiorentina.
29:08Fiorentina.
29:09Fiorentina.
29:10Fiorentina.
29:11Fiorentina.
29:12Fiorentina.
29:13Fiorentina.
29:14Fiorentina.
29:15Fiorentina.
29:16Fiorentina.
29:17Fiorentina.
29:18Fiorentina.
29:19Fiorentina.
29:20Fiorentina.
29:21Fiorentina.
29:22Fiorentina.
29:23Fiorentina.
29:24Fiorentina.
29:25Fiorentina.
29:26Fiorentina.
29:27Fiorentina.
29:28There's a bit of a delay to the restart.
29:32I think backer trying to have a chat with the officials.
29:38Upset about something.
29:48Clearly something bothering her.
29:58And we are back underway.
30:05Severini with the goal confirmed.
30:07And indeed we are not quite back underway.
30:13There we are.
30:14So 28th minute now.
30:16About two minutes spent.
30:18Dallying since that goal.
30:19So we'll see if all of that is added on afterwards.
30:24Ball has come through.
30:27Chance for Fiorentino.
30:28Oh, Axel defending there to avoid.
30:31Suffering a real fast break chance there with Fiorentina.
30:35Milan, they'll have to be smart here.
30:36Mascarello.
30:38Severini can't quite get the ball off her.
30:41Mascarello out to the right.
30:44Keiser goes back to Sanders.
30:47Sanders keeping on the ground.
30:48EJ and Mascarello going to give and go.
30:50But Yanagi is going to win it.
30:52Yanagi against EJ here.
30:54Yanagi wins the fight by winning the free.
30:58Well, two players who, they fear nothing and they think every ball can be won.
31:08So seeing them go up against each other is always a treat.
31:11Severini playing it out to the right.
31:17Inside.
31:23Severini now looking to open up a new avenue here.
31:26Oh, ill communication on that pass though.
31:29The run happened before the ball came.
31:31And it's a throw to Milan.
31:32Just pumped out of play.
31:49It'll be a throw to Fiorentina, but in Fiorentina territory.
31:52EJ just going up to check that and bring a little bit of pressure on Fiskestand.
31:57Fiskestand will just keep it on the ground.
32:03As Ferga plays it out.
32:05Ferga.
32:08It's Severini.
32:09Back to Ferga.
32:11Ferga's going out to that right flank.
32:13Now, have they control that?
32:14They have just about.
32:16Excellent tackle.
32:17Excellent work to win that ball.
32:20Milan on the counter here.
32:22Oh, that's a nice ball through, but well intercepted.
32:24It's not over yet for Fiorentina here though.
32:26They've got to be smart here.
32:28Getting this ball out.
32:31Still in play.
32:32And a Milan ball, they say.
32:36Severini putting a stop to the danger, at least for now.
32:40Just thumping that, trying to find an open player.
32:43Well, she's got Omer's daughter.
32:45Omer's daughter out to the bread guard.
32:48Bread guard now looking for an option.
32:50Bread guard cutting inside.
32:51Bread guard goes low.
32:54Can't find the space.
32:56It's Milan.
32:58EJ on the ball.
32:59EJ.
33:00It's to go very far back here.
33:0530 minutes on the clock.
33:06Milan trail a goal to nil here in Florence.
33:09Fiorentina's goal coming from Severini in 26th minute from the penalty spot.
33:14Giuliani now back with the ball.
33:26Out to the left.
33:30Looking for a chance now to cut inside.
33:32There's a real chance here for Milan.
33:33They've got to come back.
33:34They go across.
33:34And it's an equalizer for Milan.
33:36Well, somewhat out of nowhere, Renzotti, gets on the end of that.
33:43Thought they were going to roll back to EJ.
33:45Instead, they go low and quick.
33:48And one goal apiece.
33:50Well, Fiorentina looks to be sort of enhancing their control here in the minutes after the goal.
34:03But Milan immediately putting a stop to that.
34:07They're level.
34:08Renzotti getting on the end of that cross.
34:14And Kivak.
34:15There is a check, though.
34:19So here's Kivak's cross.
34:23I'm not sure that angle will tell us too much.
34:27Was Renzotti onside is the question.
34:30It looks like she was from the live play, but it's very hard to tell from those angles.
34:35Just waiting for the official to get in position.
34:53Looks like he's going to confirm the goal does stand.
35:00He does indeed.
35:05And we are back underway.
35:09It's one goal apiece.
35:11Renzotti equalizing from Severini.
35:14The opener.
35:19Ferger now.
35:21Well, this game has truly come to life.
35:26Going up the left flank.
35:28They're skipping Yanagi.
35:29And it's going to be a throw to Fiorentina.
35:39Johansson still on the floor.
35:40Yanagi needs to be a little bit smarter about when she's taking this throw.
35:49And did she leave it for Johansson to throw?
35:51I think Johansson thinking that she may not have the first step she needs right away.
35:57Needs to get her breath back.
35:58So take the throw.
35:59Put somebody else in that position.
36:02Johansson is getting it back here.
36:05Playing it across the middle.
36:07Are Fiorentina.
36:08All the way back to Ferger.
36:10Ferger playing it up.
36:12Trying to go up the middle.
36:13It's Ferger again.
36:14And I think we're getting a very late call foul here.
36:22Sierabini has hit the deck.
36:24From the collision of Mascarello.
36:26And the medical attention has been called for.
36:30And now we're in this meeting.
36:32Well, come on.
36:32What?
36:33How late?
36:34Oh.
36:35You go.
36:35All right.
36:36You go.
36:36You go.
36:51Go.
36:52What?
37:02What?
37:06oh
37:36so the free in here
37:57to Fiorentina
37:57chipped forward
38:00it's going to be there
38:01Yanagi's header is back
38:02Severini
38:03no handballs
38:05but it did look like
38:06hit her back
38:07not her arm there
38:07in live play
38:09Milan trying to break
38:11up the left
38:12Severini's
38:15intervention there
38:17sending it out of play
38:19and quite a long distance
38:21away
38:21but it did most of that
38:23travel after it
38:24crossed the sideline
38:24of course
38:35Milan looking to build
38:38from the back
38:39pumping forward nicely
38:41here
38:42but Ferga should get
38:44onto this
38:45and she does
38:45although that's a
38:48very risky
38:49type of clearance
38:50and one that has
38:52gone back to Milan
38:52Mascarello
38:54going down long
38:56that's too much
38:57for Rensati to get
38:58onto but Ferga has
38:59to put it out of play
38:59to be safe
39:00so a throw to Milan
39:01deep
39:02deep
39:03deep
39:03in Fiorentina territory
39:05going across
39:24oh that's a lovely
39:25chance here
39:25can she finish
39:26yes she can
39:282-1 to Milan
39:29sensational stuff
39:34Fiorentina just
39:35looked asleep
39:36at the back there
39:36and Sofia
39:40all the way up
39:42from left back
39:43to bang that in
39:46and Fiskerstrand
39:47had no chance there
39:48Milan 2
39:52Fiorentina won
39:53remember it's been
39:54several years
39:55since Milan
39:56recorded consecutive
39:57wins
39:58took a deflection
39:58along the way
39:59but once it got
40:02to Sofia
40:04that I suppose
40:06curious cross
40:08from Mascarello
40:09Fiskerstrand
40:12you'll see here
40:12she's not where
40:13she needs to be
40:14hasn't got her feet
40:15set
40:15and it's very easy
40:16for Sofia to finish
40:18at the near post
40:19well how the
40:25tables have turned
40:2611 minutes ago
40:28Fiorentina took
40:30the lead
40:31now they find
40:32themselves trailing
40:337 minutes shy
40:34of half time
40:34expecting a substantial
40:54stoppage time
40:54in this first class
40:55just because of the
40:56number of delays
40:57he's had
40:58as it is
41:01Fiorentina
41:02find themselves
41:05having to claw
41:05their way back
41:06they of course
41:08drew with
41:09Milan's
41:09neighbours
41:10Inter last week
41:11away from home
41:12of course
41:13here as well
41:14sorry for Fiorentina
41:15that was 2-1
41:16Fiskerstrand

41:23out of her goal
41:23here
41:24to give that
41:25to Ferga
41:25thumping forward
41:31down the left
41:32looking
41:33for Yanagi
41:34but she was not
41:35getting onto that
41:36ball
41:36Giuliani
41:50now she's
41:50largely gone short
41:51with these goal
41:52kicks
41:52and they've
41:52largely caused
41:53her more problems
41:54than anything else
41:55she is
41:58going a bit
41:59further this time
41:59though
42:00playing along
42:08pumping forward
42:10Shan's here

47:27Milan's ability
47:29to strike out of nowhere
47:30has been extraordinary in this first half
47:32four minutes of additional time
47:34and I have to say
47:35not remotely surprised
47:36at that decision
47:37we had plenty of stoppages here
47:42in this first half
47:44fair
47:46offloading
47:47so still a chance for
47:49more goals before the break

48:27at the other end
48:29which almost led
48:30to Milan's third
48:32as it is
48:33still
48:33two goals to one
48:34one minute
48:35of the four additional
48:36that have been played
48:37although
48:37about half of that
48:39was for the stoppages
48:40they are going long
48:45and they are intercepted
48:48but
48:49Guarantino will have to work
48:51from all the way back
48:52in line with their own box
48:54here with this throw
48:55La Viola
48:59have just gone a bit quiet
49:03really since Milan's first goal
49:04let alone the second
49:05nicely through
49:09bread guard
49:10bread guard
49:12tries to get past
49:13two players
49:13and couldn't get past
49:14either of them
49:15Kivag
49:16jinx it back inside
49:17again
49:19Milan
49:20a little bit
49:20gambling here
49:21considering how close
49:24they are to their own goal
49:25free out
49:28throw
49:29throw to Milan
49:30sorry it is given
49:30eventually
49:31Fiorentina bench
49:41Milan
49:41option to go high
49:55Severini intercepting
49:57Janagi comes on to it
49:58Janagi
49:59can't control it
50:02Renzotti
50:02going back
50:05Sanders
50:06not here
50:08to mess about
50:09with Piga
50:09Mascarello
50:11all the way back
50:16to Giuliani
50:16here
50:17three minutes
50:20of the four
50:21allotted
50:22almost up
50:23probably the last attack
50:31for either side
50:32coming up shortly
50:33you'd imagine
50:33and well
50:36if they can win this ball
50:37Milan can't
50:38there's a chance
50:38on the break
50:39instead
50:39for Fiorentina
50:40Janagi's there
50:41on the left
50:41if she wants her
50:42she's surely
50:42going to take that option
50:43she does
50:44but if you take it
50:45too late
50:45Janagi
50:47gets to looping
50:49cross in
