00:00...the beautiful sunshine, these are indeed conditions for the beautiful game.
00:07The backdrop here, picturesque, idyllic, no doubt one of the best days of the footballing calendar
00:14and it has added to a really jovial happy mood in the stands,
00:19helping to raise the level of sound by more than a few decibels.
00:22Shirt sleeve order, very much the dress code.
00:25...certainly this is a very, very impressive venue, quite a sight to behold.
00:35Cagliari are suffering right now from a consistency they could well do without.
00:41Rather unwelcomely, they are consistently winless.
00:45Well, if ever a win was needed, Peter, then they'd obviously like it to be here.
00:50However, there's no need for them to get over-anxious about their current run.
00:54They have to retain a composure about their work and get back to what they're good at.
01:00Should they rekindle a full commitment from every individual,
01:04if they don't win this one, they could well win the next.
01:07They have to maintain belief.
01:11Well, if you did just miss it, they are up and running already.
01:14...looks to bypass the midfield.
01:20I think that's offside.
01:21Yes, it is.
01:31...Jarvis...
01:32...has a hit!
01:33That has certainly tested the keeper.
01:37Oh, that's a sparkling save.
01:39Absolutely sparkling.
01:40His reflexes work ultra sharp.
01:46Moy has given away a free kick.
01:48He gets the ticking off and needs to be very careful now.
01:56Well, I think the referee would have told him to rein it in or suffer the consequences.
02:01And it's Pavoletti.
02:16The defence got the better of him this time, but I'm sure he'll go again.
02:23Well, there's something you don't see every day.
02:25There's something you don't see every day.
02:55Clavan plays it forward.
03:00Moy.
03:02Forward it goes.
03:05Cogliarella.
03:06He's had a goal!
03:08Goal!
03:13Well, you know, thinking about that, I think they've perfected that on the training ground
03:17because it took them seconds to get the ball from back to front.
03:20And they really commit forward in numbers too.
03:23That was all very well drilled.
03:25He's going to be like the Endeavour to record out.
03:26That was just, and he's fine.
03:27They had another driver that took over.
03:28He watched one timed player tomorrow night.
03:32He was waiting for you.
03:34How many for each?
03:36For this commitment.
03:37That was all great.
03:37And now here's the track course.
03:39Someone will
03:45Goal!
03:46Goal!
03:46Goal!
03:47Goal!
03:48Let's goal!
03:49Goal!
03:50Beal!
03:51Do, of course!
03:51Goal!
03:52Morgan�
03:52Goal!
03:53Goal!
03:53Milan take the lead 1-0
03:58Yeah, this is also a chance to see what happens to their level of concentration from here
04:03Well, that looks a foul, yep, referee's given it
04:20That's about wide now
04:21Up to meet it
04:24Oh, he couldn't get the direction he needed
04:28Oh, this was all about good movement in the box just to allow him to get to it
04:32Jarvis
04:35Quagliarella
04:38Now it's Quagliarella
04:41And a header
04:42Goal
04:44And they're at it again
04:47In double quick time
04:49Great header, made it look easy
04:56Well, look, it's often the timing of the jump that dictates what you can do with any header
05:00And if you get it slightly wrong, then you'll struggle
05:03But that was beautifully met, it really was
05:06Milan have a couple of goals without reply, it's 2-0
05:29Well, they're very much the better team at the moment, Peter
05:33And no doubt we'll be looking to cause even more damage here
05:36And it's Quagliarella
05:42Jarvis
05:45Jarvis is alert to the possibilities
05:49But in the end it's fruitless
05:50Hoists it forward
05:58Well positioned to make that interception
06:00Moy gets his foot in there
06:02Real chance
06:07This could fall anywhere
06:09Trying to get there
06:11I can't speak highly enough of the keeper after that save
06:15Can't stop thinking about it
06:17And it's Pavoletti
06:23Cagliarella
06:28Now towards the flank
06:31Jarvis
06:33Has a hit
06:36They are rampant
06:39And already they're looking to run away with it
06:43The keeper deserves some sympathy there
06:46He may not have seen that until too late
06:49His second of the game
06:52And an eye now for the hat-trick
06:54Milan take a three-goal lead
07:13And they are romping out of sight
07:15Well unsurprisingly Peter
07:17The opposition look completely stunned
07:19I'm not sure they can gather themselves
07:21He's making good use of his strength there
07:25Just refuses to be out-muscled
07:28Cagliari
07:32Have come to the defence of their manager
07:34After he came in for some stick
07:36Regarding some of his decision making
07:38Yeah but he brought the criticism upon himself
07:40By making substitutions that
07:42Didn't really make sense
07:44They added confusion when
07:45He really needed cohesion
07:47He's played him through
07:52And he's there to cut it out
07:54Tries to locate someone up front
07:58Gets into a dangerous position
08:01Well it really is one cross after another
08:05Well with a target to hit
08:06Why not keep up the supply
08:08It's simple and efficient
08:09Because they all know what they're doing
08:11Pumps it into the area
08:14He's brushed off the ball there
08:21Good take and he's had a look
08:23It's Jovis
08:26Oh taken with style
08:29Hot knife through butter
08:31They have done it again
08:33A momentary lapse
08:39Exploited with glee
08:41I love it
08:56I love it
08:59It's become a case of men against boys, no doubt as to who has the momentum here now.
09:21The only doubt is how many is coming.
09:26Great strength, too strong for his opponent.
09:29Now it's Quagliarella.
09:31Jarvis.
09:33He's gone away.
09:35Jarvis.
09:35Goes for goal.
09:41And it's played forward.
09:44Onema.
09:49Forward it goes.
09:52Steered forward.
09:56Jarvis.
09:57He's put his foot right through that one.
10:06Oh, no, that was a chance.
10:08What a chance.
10:14Hoist it forward.
10:16And it's played forward.
10:17Well, no, that is pretty much the end of that.
10:32This ball, who's going to get that?
10:34Oh, great ball.
10:38Shoots.
10:39They've scored.
10:42All too easy.
10:44They are in danger of disappearing out of sight.
10:47Well, I think we've gone past humiliation now.
10:54This could be doing some real psychological damage.
10:59He snaffles his turn, and that earns him the match ball.
11:03This is one of the best performances I've seen in a while.
11:05He's practically taken on this team single-handedly, and they don't know how to stop him.
11:09Milan tear their opponents apart once again.
11:24They are utterly ruthless.
11:26Well, it's been an absolutely fabulous spell for them, and they're starting to look unstoppable.
11:32There could be more on the way.
11:38Moy plays it forward.
11:39The ball needed to be better there.
11:43That's a wasted chance.
11:47Gets away from his opponents.
11:52Cross deflected behind for a corner.
11:55And this could be the final action of the first half.
11:59Up for a header!
12:02And it's halftime here.
12:04Fantastic excitement towards the end of the half there,
12:06and a last-minute chance that really should have been converted.
12:11Milan have been more or less perfect, I would say.
12:15Their manager's all smiles, and he's got every reason to be.
12:18Oh, he's caught him there.
12:19It's a free kick.
12:34A spectacular effort!
12:36And that has faded wide.
12:46Jarvis.
12:52Milan are the standout defensive side of the moment.
12:55They've not conceded in their last five.
12:59Olamar.
13:01Sticks in a foot to win it back.
13:03Tries to get it forward quickly.
13:05And they win it back again.
13:13Look forward.
13:14What does he throw?
13:15It's one!
13:16Oh, he's kicked it out.
13:19That's a great save.
13:20Well, it was hit with great power, Peter, but sadly, not great precision.
13:28Massively!
13:29Surely this time...
13:30Oh, almost to six!
13:34His radar picked up on that very quickly, and he was first to react.
13:37And it's Pavoletti.
13:46He spotted the run and played him through.
13:48Oh, he acknowledges that he should have come up with something better there.
13:53Oh, that just required a bit more oomph to reach its target.
13:57Oh, yeah.
13:59Oh, yeah.
14:04Qualiorella.
14:09Qualiorella.
14:09Really just wasn't quick enough then.
14:12Well, his thinking certainly wasn't.
14:14Didn't make use of what I felt were some very good options.
14:17this defense is is wary about opposition pace so they're just not getting too tight
14:26yeah they know that if they they step up their their keeper could get a whole lot busier
14:31boy has created one oh shooting chance oh he really got hold of that i think he still
14:41deserves full marks for making his way through it was a it was a cracking run
14:45he wasn't being fooled
14:59hoist it forward very well to intervene and that has been clubbed away
15:11charvis needed to come up with a better ball was too timid to make it through the defense
15:17it'll be noted and and improved upon i'm sure
15:20clavan blocks it at the expense of a corner
15:26that's it really well taken goal
15:36well surely that completes the demolition if it hadn't occurred already
15:42it's part of the game peter it has to get ruthless sympathy just doesn't play a part
15:49cagliari making another change here
16:10and it's played forward and it's pavoletti
16:23play for a throw
16:31more than happy to take the muscular approach
16:39well it seems obvious that the plan is to to try and get the passing game going again but
16:46not with that lack of quality
16:48plays it out to the wing
16:51well he's going to be pulled back for that one
16:54well the referee has made it pretty clear now that this is his last chance
17:02he just needs to find the control button on his aggression before the ref does it for him peter
17:07gets on the end of it
17:10good challenge he just stood firm
17:17driving on now what can they conjure from here
17:20he's off on a marauding run
17:23and he's cut it out
17:26goes direct to the front line
17:32talk about singling someone out
17:37well better late than never peter although it belts one
17:41well peter i would say it was worth a try
17:47a bit of penetration to go with all this possession
17:53and it's pavoletti battles to win it back
17:58gets it back
18:01that's clear cut it's a free kick
