00:00Well, a very warm welcome to you on this most pleasantly clear evening, conditions absolutely beautiful, perfect for the beautiful game.
00:22Temperatures are kind as well, no doubt playing a hand in high attendance levels, as well as an elevated level of anticipation here.
00:31Surely this is the hot ticket going around in this neck of the woods, it surely must be.
00:39Goyos!
00:41Oh, he did the hard part right, but not the finish.
00:45It didn't quite come off on this occasion, but it only needs a gentle tweak.
00:52Goyos, gets wrestled off the ball.
01:08That's just very well played, he can't hurt you with his back to go, and he didn't go for the backheel.
01:14Nice, and it's played forward.
01:24Goyos, good take and he's had a look, shoots!
01:28Goyos!
01:43Chavez!
01:45And Goyos!
01:48Oh, Shane, that was nicely worked.
01:51It's easy to say it, but difficult to stop it when runs in behind her are being made like that.
01:56Goyos!
02:07All's out on the left, now.
02:15Up to meet it!
02:17He's delivered all right!
02:19Milan are really pouncing on any straight passes in midfield.
02:27We're talking seconds from interception to the back of the net.
02:30It's counter-attacking heaven.
02:31He's one for
02:44Here are you guys.
02:45Milan take the early advantage.
03:15He ran himself into trouble there, free kick given away.
03:37Rice drives it forward, leaves it out of harm's way.
03:45Coulson!
03:51Oh, and they really should have been made to pay.
03:57He tries to get it forward quickly.
04:09Going through.
04:15He's making good use of his strength there, just refuses to be out-muscled.
04:21Looking out.
04:22That's a good intervention.
04:23Things could have got far worse than that.
04:27Nice.
04:31Nice.
04:33Nice.
04:34There's a look to the possibilities, but in the end it's fruitless.
04:37Good progress he's made on...
04:41Has a goal!
04:43And for a moment time stood still.
04:51Great strength.
04:52Too strong for his opponent.
04:57Great strength.
04:58Too strong for his opponent.
04:59It's being played forward.
05:00Oh, good interception.
05:03Oh, he's going to be pulled back for that one.
05:05Oh, he's going to be pulled back for that one.
05:09Oh, he's caught in there.
05:10It's a free kick.
05:11Oh, he's caught in there.
05:12It's a free kick.
05:13Oh, he's going to be pulled back for that one.
05:34Oh, he's caught him there, it's a free kick.
05:43Javis, who has made his impact already.
05:58Hardly anything but Empoli have a free kick.
06:13Inlet is steaming forward, looking to force his way through.
06:22Just the keeper's a big chance.
06:26A wonderful effort all by himself.
06:30And that has to go down as a real opportunity missed.
06:32Everything was right until the end.
06:34Empoli, going about it patiently, perhaps too patiently.
06:57Koyos.
07:11Kult has a hit!
07:14Sticks it away!
07:18A two-goal cushion, and it's looking safe!
07:21Yeah, looking back at that, that's how you play on the counter.
07:29Quick and decisive and ruthless with the finish.
07:32I thought it was a stunning, stunning breakaway.
07:33So that's two now, without reply.
07:57We're looking at a very different game now.
07:59The command has been established.
08:01Inlet battles to win it back.
08:15Inlet.
08:26Well, that looks a foul.
08:27Yep, referee's giving it.
08:31Chavez.
08:32Gets away from his opponent.
08:46He's had a shot!
08:49Oh, that is rather wayward.
08:51Koyos really drove at the heart of that defence.
08:54Incisive, quick, but not clinical.
08:57Milan are in control here on the brink of half-time.
09:09Goyos gets it back.
09:17Goyos.
09:18Goyos takes control of enemies on the move.
09:21And Goyos hits off target, and by quite a way.
09:27I think he still deserves full marks for making his way through.
09:31It was a crack and run.
09:32Goyos hits it forward.
09:42Rice gets his foot in there.
09:44Goyos goes looking.
09:51Good running with the ball.
09:52Can they build on it?
09:54And he's...
09:54Goyos!
09:55A real chance and a real let-off.
10:00Still a cracking effort.
10:02Really looked like a man on a mission the way he went through on goal.
10:05Empoli, disappointing in the end there.
10:18They lack urgency.
10:24You can get that clear.
10:27Milan have it back, and they can go again.
10:30Walk forward.
10:37Not that he'd try from here.
10:40And it's in line.
10:42Has a hit!
10:46And now they can launch a counter.
10:50Rice plays it forward.
10:55He's good for it!
11:00There is the half-time whistle.
11:04It's the first half compared with your expectation.
11:06Well, it's looking pretty straightforward, Peter.
11:08They've got themselves into a very good position.
11:11So why dither from here when they can repeat their first half success with another show of strength?
11:18Milan in control at half-time.
11:202-0.
11:21Here we go again, then.
11:38Carlsen.
11:40Now it's Qualiarella.
11:42It's Qualiarella!
11:43Oh, nearly, but nearly is nothing.
11:49Qualiarella clearly urging that to slip inside the aluminium.
11:53That's unfortunate.
12:04Away from immediate danger.
12:07That's a throw.
12:08Qualiarella really was well-marshalled there because he was denied the opportunity to turn.
12:25It's broken loose!
12:28Well, the crowd clearly liked what they just saw.
12:31Some real no-nonsense defending.
12:33That'll be a throw-in.
12:41Good challenge.
12:42He just stood firm.
12:45Cuts it out.
12:53Forward it goes.
13:00Hoist it forward.
13:03Arcas.
13:05Nicely measured pass.
13:07It's won!
13:09Well, that was nice, but not quite the end product required.
13:13Well, there are a few pockets of space that are being exploited, and they need filling.
13:18And fast.
13:19And it's played forward.
13:21Tries to get it forward quickly.
13:35That's offside.
13:36Yes, it is.
13:44Oh, real chance!
13:46Real chance!
13:47Oh, that's a fine save!
13:51The keeper really dug out his defence then.
13:53A magnificent effort.
13:57And the header!
13:59No, he didn't quite meet it right.
14:02He's off on a marauding run.
14:18And the shots!
14:22Plenty waiting in the middle.
14:23Keeps everyone guessing.
14:29It's a good-looking cross.
14:31Oh, shooting chance!
14:33Oh, that is asking!
14:40Hits one!
14:42Good offside that time.
14:44Good offside that time.
14:44Well played.
14:56He saw that coming.
15:00Gets the better of his man.
15:05The defence got the better of him this time, but I'm sure he'll go again.
15:08Big chance!
15:12Must be!
15:12Goes for goal!
15:15And he nearly went all the way.
15:17Arqas certainly had a very good sight of goal, and he would have fancied a better outcome then.
15:22He's pinged one through here.
15:35Going for goal!
15:36He's had a shot!
15:38And it's there!
15:42And the lead is free!
15:45It is surely done!
15:48Inlet was quick to move in.
15:50Keeper's handling wasn't great.
15:51Our players like this fella almost have a sixth sense to get themselves in such great coaching positions.
15:57How quick-minded was that?
16:18Three without reply.
16:19This is becoming a stroll.
16:27And it's Quagliarella.
16:29He's made sure that that won't get through.
16:34This is gone.
16:35That's a foul.
16:40Just brushed off the ball there.
16:42He's spotted the run and played him through.
16:53Quagliarella finds himself offside.
16:55Gets it upfield.
17:03Gets it upfield.
17:03Gets it out to the wing.
17:18The referee's awarded a free kick.
17:20Defending of the desperate variety.
17:35He's had a shot!
17:37Gets it upfield.
17:38Can he get the shot away?
17:41And through to the goalkeeper.
17:43Aqqas.
17:44Now it's Pogliarella
17:46Foot in
17:47And in the end they found themselves pending
17:50Nowhere to go
17:51Almost 75 minutes on the clock now
18:00Ball's loose, who's getting there?
18:07Milan really are
18:09Almost trying to pass the ball through
18:10A brick wall at the moment
18:12Orcas
18:13They've done it
18:16Yet another goal
18:19In an awesome performance
18:21They are in complete charge
18:24The purest possible contact
18:31What a fabulous strike
18:32Is it just me or did he make that look very very easy
18:35That was terrific skill and composure
18:37He finished with such aplomb
18:39Oh, now some movement on the bench and we are going to see a change
19:03Yeah, their position is a dominant one now Peter
19:07So introducing one of the youngsters for some added experience is bang on
19:11Milan totally rampant here
19:14Well, they're very much the better team at the moment Peter
19:18And no doubt we'll be looking to cause even more damage here
19:21It's Colson
19:25Back of the net
19:27This is as ruthless as it gets
19:32Well, I think we've gone past humiliation now
19:39This could be doing some real psychological damage
19:42Things looking so easy
20:11Almost too easy
20:12Almost too easy here
20:13No doubt as to who has the momentum here now
20:16The only doubt is how many is coming
20:18And here's Quagliarella
20:33Arcas
20:34Too much on it
20:37And that's the keepers
20:38Referee's given a throw
20:48Rice proves too strong there
20:55Oh, well intercepted
20:58Really alerts the danger
21:00Rice brings the ball forward
21:11Rice brings the ball forward
21:11To the last five minutes
21:21And Arcas
21:29And Arcas
21:29Oh, almost a six
21:32And that's a throw
21:45Calicuri
21:54Calicuri
21:54Looking for a decent ball in
21:58Chance
21:59That has flown over
22:02Great strength
22:20Too strong for his opponent
22:21Arcas
22:24Arcas
22:24Inla
22:26Time added on
22:33Four minutes
22:34Driving on now
22:38What could
22:39He's had a goal
22:40Oh, looks like he's been taken
22:44And they've been caught out here
22:46Empoli
22:50Are able now to make their substitution
22:53It's been on the cards for a few moments now
22:55Yeah, it's about time
22:57I think we saw some activity from the bench
22:59But it's
22:59It's debatable as to what level of impact
23:01Can be made from here
23:02It's pretty late
23:03Antonelli
23:07And that will be the final act
23:13One foot
