00:02A pleasant evening, there has been a clamour to get inside the ground tonight for a much anticipated game, the
00:10roads outside of the stadium have been bumper to bumper with traffic, the car parks are full, there is a
00:17torrent of humankind making its way from the nearby station and we expect every seat, whistle's gone, that's a foul.
00:44Saptoria has been good here at home, undefeated in the last five, Yoshida gets into a dangerous position, great strength,
00:57too strong for his opponent,
01:01defence got the better of him this time, but I'm sure he'll go again, belt one, that is absolutely glorious,
01:13that is a gem, an absolute gem.
01:22As long range strikes go, that is a belter, just brilliant, oh that was just technically great, his balance was
01:29matched by the contact of foot and ball and it's a top top goal.
02:14Milan, go ahead, one goal to the good.
02:21Well that looks a foul, yep, referee's given it.
02:42Castledine battles to win it back.
02:47Castledine looking to penetrate opposition lines.
02:51He's left his man, hits one.
02:53Castledine battles to win it back.
02:54And it comes as a mighty relief.
03:08Chavez.
03:12just to point out Peter that the fullbacks are quite high
03:15and what do they try to achieve
03:17well it's obviously a move to push
03:19the opposition wide men back
03:21and give them more to think about
03:23he tries to get it forward quickly
03:31Jarvis
03:33and the assistant referee rightly gives him offside
03:42the keeper's got good distance on that
03:46Saptoria coming into this game on the back of a really good result
03:50and their boss must take an awful lot of credit for that
03:53look to alter the intended game plan was a daring move on the manager's part
03:58it wasn't quite working for him
04:00Castledown
04:03Castledown really just wasn't quick enough then
04:06well his thinking certainly wasn't
04:08didn't make use of what I felt were
04:10some very good options
04:15gets good distance on it
04:26Castledown
04:27has a hit
04:29oh that is rather wayward
04:46hoist it forward
04:52he goes long
04:54floated through
04:55quick glance at goal
04:57Jarvis
04:58and the shot
05:01sticks it away
05:05two up
05:06and threatening to pull clear
05:09speed of thoughts
05:11efficiency of movement
05:12and certainty of outcome
05:14I just think it's clever positioning
05:16from clever movement
05:17and when all of that is synchronised
05:18with the right pass
05:19that's what happens
05:33Milan
05:33can have a couple of goals without reply
05:36it's 2-0
05:37well that second goal has given them
05:39so much more command and confidence now
05:41and they should be able to take it on from here
05:43and either add to their lead
05:45or close it out
05:46surely
05:47they'll manage one or the other
05:49look at the defender
05:51bombing forward
05:58Castledown
05:59he's through
06:00now is he in
06:09and it's played forward
06:11dinks one in
06:12dinks in
06:14and the assistant referee
06:15has his flag raised
06:17that's four offside
06:29nicely measured pass
06:31it's job
06:34it's off target
06:35and by quite a way
06:37oh look I don't want to sound
06:38too dismissive
06:40but from here
06:40but from here
06:41that looks
06:41the harder thing to do
06:49he's going to be pulled back for that one
07:02he's making good use of his
07:03and the shot
07:04and the shot
07:05oh nearly
07:07nearly is nothing
07:08good effort
07:09very good effort
07:10he would have at least wanted to
07:12make the keeper work though
07:19and he has been fouled there
07:23and he has been fouled there
07:42well it did look promising
07:43well it did look promising to start with
07:44but in the end
07:45they were thwarted
07:45before they could even
07:46make it into the final third
07:50managed to get it away
07:54Sampdoria
07:54going about it
07:55patiently
07:56perhaps too patiently
07:59in with the challenge
08:01that's a foul
08:02free kick's been given
08:19Jarvis
08:19brings the ball forward
08:22Jarvis
08:22just doesn't give up
08:24you just know
08:25he'll be in there again
08:26before long
08:27oh look
08:28his determination
08:28needed to be greater
08:30than the obstacle
08:30he was faced with
08:31and it wasn't
08:54looking to force his way through
08:56yeah he's fouled in there
09:07and he's going to wreck
09:09all the balls come loose
09:16that'll be a throw
09:36that'll be a throw
09:46try as they might
09:47they just couldn't get into an attacking area
09:52forward it goes
09:58just brushed off the ball there
10:04has a look and has a go
10:07and that will sail harmlessly past
10:09look it was achievable
10:12look it was achievable peter but it needed his best
10:33tries to get it to get it to get it forward quickly
10:37tries to get it forward quickly
10:39and the ball's come loose
10:40and the chase is on
10:46he's looked long this time
10:48oh good interception
10:53he's got the final touch there
10:54goal kick's being given
11:03hoist it forward
11:10questions were asked
11:12but he's given the answers
11:25he's certainly caught him there
11:26it's a free kick
11:32oh he's been flattened there
11:34oh no that's not the ball he wanted
11:42goalkeeper's ball
11:45and it's the whistle for half time
11:47any strong opinions on the first half
11:49well it's looking pretty straightforward peter
11:51they've got themselves into a very good position
11:54so why dither from here
11:55when they can repeat their first half success
11:57with another show of strength
12:01Milan go in at half time
12:02on a comfortable two goal cushion
12:06and we're already back on the way here
12:12it's a goal kick
12:20Milan turned on the style in their last outing
12:23the final one more of that
12:27Jarvis
12:29well weighted
12:30cuts it out
12:41defending was strong and firm
12:44deftly done
12:46Jarvis
12:47good challenge
12:48he just stood firm
12:51just brushed off the ball there
12:53oh super tackle
12:55they were outnumbered
12:56and under the cosh
12:57Castledine
12:59oh my word
13:01my word
13:01that is fantastic
13:04he's got himself
13:05a pitch of a goal
13:10and the lead is three
13:12it is surely done
13:15Milan are really pouncing
13:17on any straight passes
13:18in midfield
13:18we're talking seconds
13:20from interception
13:20to the back of the net
13:21it's counter attacking heaven
13:30Saptoria can make their change now
13:32with a break in play
13:39Milan take a three goal lead
13:41and they are romping out of sight
13:45Yoshida
13:46wants to locate someone up front
13:48there's a long ball
13:50Yoshida
13:51gets into the right position
13:52to intercept
13:54and out to safety
14:04and it's Gabbi Adini
14:05gets it back
14:07whistle's gone
14:08that's a foul
14:30great strength
14:31too strong
14:31for his opponent
14:36Castledine
14:41referee's given a throw
14:48Manolo Gabbi Adini
14:52loses his balance
14:53and loses the ball
14:59referee's awarded a free kick
15:02and here's Gabbi Adini
15:05balls loose
15:06who's getting there
15:07and it's played forward
15:09and he's made sure
15:10that that won't get through
15:14Fence has got rid of that
15:17a little bit of throwing
15:24it's a poor throwback
15:25kicked off with
15:26relative ease
15:35that's offside
15:36yes it is
15:37yes it is
15:40Sabdoria

16:37that was easy
16:39almost too easy
16:40that's just a great finish
16:42but it's down to
16:43very clever movement
16:45you can see this has been
16:47obviously worked on
16:48on the training ground
16:49he knew exactly
16:49where he wanted the ball
16:50and it all came good
16:56the changes then
16:58in quick succession
17:10Milan tear their opponents
17:12apart once again
17:13they are utterly ruthless
17:17hit long and direct
17:19well intercepted
17:21really alert to the danger
17:24now it's
17:24cabiatini
17:25can't get the better
17:26of his opposite number
17:28forward it goes
17:30he's through
17:33Milan clearly aren't
17:35looking comfortable
17:35on the ball
17:36at the moment
17:37predictability
17:38has just crept
17:39into
17:39that a foul
17:40yes the referee's
17:41given it
17:55in look
17:56battles
17:57surely a foul

18:40he's gone away
18:42big chance
18:43castledine
18:50he's called him up
18:51for that challenge
18:53that's a good thing
18:54always looked it
18:55well what goes through
18:57a player's head
18:58at times like that
18:59is a mystery to me
19:08Gabi Adini
19:09Gabi Adini
19:13gets it back
19:17he's played him through
19:20it's
19:20Jovis
19:22well we really got hold
19:24of that
19:24well he's clearly not
19:26the only one who can't
19:27believe he didn't put it
19:28away
19:28I think he's going to
19:29take some ribbon for that
19:33just brushed off the ball
19:34there
19:42yeah that does look a foul
19:43and he's given a free kick
19:55and it's Gabi Adini
19:58in look
19:58gets his foot in there
20:08he gets past his man
20:11goes for goal
20:13it's there
20:16well surely that completes
20:18the demolition
20:19if it hadn't occurred
20:20already
20:25listen when you're on an invitation
20:27to improve your goal difference
20:28why he's off
20:32he snaffles his third
20:33and that earns him the match ball
20:35this is one of the best performances
20:37I've seen in a while
20:38he's practically taken on this team
20:40single-handedly
20:40and they don't know how to stop him
20:58Milan
20:59and it's played forward
21:10looking to break out here
21:13it's an untidy challenge
21:14free kick given
21:26Gabi Adini has a goal
21:28no it's wide
21:39Charvis
21:42out to the right
21:44great leap
21:47danger averted for now
22:00massive leap
22:03and he had himself into trouble there
22:05free kick
22:05given away
22:06and no surprise
22:08that's a booking
22:16gets it upfield
22:20good running with the ball

22:22and he's searching
22:24shapes to suits
22:26well he caught that pure
22:28but no end product
22:41as Serbi
22:42plays it forward
22:46away from immediate danger
22:52gets it back
22:53Castledine
22:55Javis
22:58really well taken goal
23:02and again
23:03they pile on the misery
23:09well I wasn't expecting them
23:11to go this big Peter
23:12but they have been superb
23:16his second of the game
23:17and an eye now
23:18for the hat trick

23:38an absolutely fabulous spell
23:40for them
23:40and they're starting
23:41to look unstoppable
23:42there could be more
23:44on the way
23:48Jarvis
23:50Yoshida
23:52tries to get it forward
23:53quickly
23:53now it's Gabi Adini
23:56it's a loose ball

24:14great strength
24:15too strong
24:15for his opponent
24:30good challenge
24:31he just stood
24:32and the finish
24:35Jorza
24:36sends that a long way
24:46now the counter
24:48gets the better
24:49of his man
24:49has a pop
24:51it's anyone's fault
