00:02...an ideal evening for football. There is a barely a cloud evident. The world and his wife have gone to
00:10great lengths to be here for a match of great consequence and massive interest in these parts.
00:18Barely a breath of wind, so the football has no excuses for not being at its very best. The teams
00:23I know are pumped for this. They are fantastic scenes in the stands. There is a great sense of drama
00:30here, a great sense of their excitement and expectation.
00:37This is one of the great amphitheatres of the game. You are welcome to it, and indeed to one of
00:44the great...
00:44...it's Quagliarella!
00:48And it's played forward. Milan have nine points in the bag already. The perfect start.
00:58Forward it goes. Battles to win it back.
01:03And it's Quagliarella.
01:06Quagliarella!
01:08Oh, what a hit! What a hit!
01:11A finish right from the top draw!
01:16The breakthrough strike!
01:22Milan are really pouncing on any straight passes in midfield. We're talking seconds from interception to the back of the
01:28net.
01:29It's counter-attacking heaven.
01:30Which Pharisees that put them in her pouncing?
01:34Quite eyes out!
01:45Oh!๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๊ณ
01:46sแปฑ Gr
01:46histรณria... Worse?
01:51No, no!
01:51Ow! You're
01:55No, no!
01:57That spider! You're
01:58not. You're
01:58not.expandals!
02:10Milan have an early lead good start
02:15Hoist it forward
02:18Calle Herrera
02:24Oh good take in a good area
02:27And he's cut it out
02:30It's gone a long way up and away
02:34Goyos really just wasn't quick enough then
02:37Well his thinking certainly wasn't
02:39Didn't make use of what I felt were some very good options
02:48Tries to get it forward quickly
02:53As Serbi tries lifting it over
02:56Well that's where he wants it
03:01And here's Colliarella
03:03Goyos
03:05And it's Colliarella
03:07And Goyos
03:10Hits off target
03:11And by quite a way
03:13Oh look I don't want to sound too dismissive
03:15But from here that looks
03:17The harder thing to do
03:20Milan
03:21Was simply a
03:22That's surely a foul free kick
03:31He's had a look
03:35Forward it goes
03:45Goyos
03:46Goyos
03:48Goyos
03:49Cagliari
03:49His manager came in for a bit of flack after their previous result
03:52I think tactically he didn't make a good job of things for starters
03:56And then compounded matters in trying to correct it
03:59I only hope he's thick skin
04:09Tries to get it forward quickly
04:24Tries to get it forward quickly
04:31Yeah
04:31And anything that's hit low with real pace like that makes it so much harder for the keeper
04:36And he was never going to get to that
05:00Things starting to look very comfortable
05:03We're looking at a very different game now
05:06So the command has been established
05:09Ships to shoots
05:12He's got away with one there
05:13That's what all good teams do these days
05:16Pressing from the front is highly effective
05:31Keeps everyone guessing
05:34It's a very good battle there
05:36Terrific to watch
05:41Goyos
05:46It's on a plate
05:51Did really well to intervene and dispel the growing danger
05:55Had a foul
05:56Yes
05:56The referee's given it
05:58No surprise
05:59That's a booking
06:00I just think it was a cheap foul to give away
06:03I just think it was a cheap foul to give away
06:15The ball's come loose
06:16And the chase is on
06:18And it's Cagliarella
06:20Going through
06:25That always looked inevitable
06:27And the defence dealt with that really well
06:41A real chance if he can get through
06:43Gets wrestled off the ball
06:49Castledine
06:49Did well to step in there
06:51That was more than necessary
06:55Castledine
06:55It's been caught there
06:56It's a foul
07:12Always going over the top
07:14The moans and groans are predictable
07:16He felt compelled to try
07:21More
07:22Cagliarella
07:23With the foul
07:40He's tried one
07:43Attempts
07:44Just a wrong outcome
07:45Well even for him
07:47That may have been
07:48A touch ambitious
07:50Now it's Cagliarella
07:56Cagliarella
08:00Who's ball
08:01Who's going to get that?
08:26Good challenge
08:27He just stood firm
08:30Right through the middle
08:32Oh good interception
08:38Clavan drives it forward
08:43Castledine
08:46Hoists it forward
08:55Hoists it forward
08:56And it's played forward
08:57And it's Cagliarella
09:01In the end
09:02They found themselves
09:02Tending
09:03Nowhere to go
09:07Doyos
09:08Oh good ball
09:15Oh that is asking for trouble
09:17Oh that is asking for trouble
09:17Oh that is asking for trouble
09:19That is asking for trouble
09:21Chace to locate someone up front
09:25Moy
09:29And it's Colliarella
09:30Oh what a
09:32And Goyos
09:33They are rampant
09:38And the lead is three
09:40It is surely done
09:46Jim your thoughts
09:47Well I'd like to praise a nicely constructed move and goal
09:51But it's hard to see past the many defensive frailties on view there
09:55It was a shambolic attempt to deal with that last attack
09:58It really was
10:18Three without reply
10:20This is becoming a stroll
10:26Clavan
10:27Drives it towards the front
10:32Looks to clip it forward
10:33It's found its way to him
10:42And that's been one straight back
10:45Goyos
10:47Good ball
10:48It's found its target
10:51Cleared
10:52Without complication
10:54Takes it back
11:02Moe tries to get it forward quickly
11:11And it's half time here
11:12Well there's plenty that can be said about the last 45 minutes
11:16But one thing that cannot be said is that it's dull
11:19One-sided yes
11:20But tactful excitement
11:23Peter do I really need to say anything
11:26Or can I simply refer you to the scoreline
11:29Milan are cruising it at half time
11:323-0 ahead
11:35Just back from your break
11:36You've missed very little of the resumption of the second half
11:42And the whistle's gone
11:43Casio with Lufa offside
11:45Offside
11:56Cents has got rid of that
12:04He's dressed off the ball there, yeah, he's fouled him there
12:26He is not one readily to admit defeat, don't be surprised if he tries that again
12:35Milan come into this game off a rampant performance last time, big chance
12:41A real chance and a real let off
13:11Goyos, Clavan gets into the right position to intercept
13:23And once more they can't get through
13:25And he's looking at the referee, and the referee is shaking his head
13:29Gets away from his opponents
13:32Clavio Rella, hit real chance
13:36And with the goal at his mercy, a dreadful miss
13:40It's a good attempt, but it was always going to be a long shot
13:42If you're climbing the point
14:06Sticks in a foot to win it back
14:10Forward, what does he try from here
14:12Great run this
14:13He's gone for it
14:14A bit of relief
14:17He just needed better contact
14:18Well, I think a little eagerness just got the better of him
14:21He may have been thinking about back page headlines there
14:45Milan, they do look to have it all sewn up here
14:50No question, that's a foul
15:08Goyos, two goals to his name already
15:13Forward it goes
15:19Doesn't get the pass he's looking for
15:21It's come through
15:26Good idea, just poorly executed
15:45That's great strength on the ball
15:47Goyos, he's going for it, he's going for it
15:48Hoists it forward
15:49And it's Cagliarella
15:51He's got away
15:53Cagliarella
15:54Gets through on his own
15:56And the shots
16:00And it's played forward
16:02And it's played forward
16:27Tita
16:34It's loose, who's getting there
16:36Oh, he's going to be pulled back for that one
16:52As Serbi tries to get it forward quickly
16:56There were better options before the ball was lost
16:59Easy to say from up here, I know
17:04He's had a goal
17:07Disappointing finish in the end
17:08Well, Tita, I would say it was worth a try
17:19Time for a change in personnel
17:28Forward it goes
17:31Hoists it forward
17:37Moy goes looking
17:39Goyos
17:42Forward it goes
17:44Cagliarella
17:45Can he find a
17:47Goes for goal
17:48It's there
17:51It is no contest
17:53It is a landslide
17:57Simplicity itself
17:59It's a simple game
18:00A striker's job
18:01Is to find the space
18:02As often as possible
18:03And he did exactly that
18:24We have got changes here
18:26From both sides
18:27It's in fact
18:32It's become a case of men against boys
18:37Clavan plays it forward
18:42Pelecule
18:43Met down by a lack of accuracy
18:47And it's paid forward
18:51Good ball
18:53Goyos
18:54And Goyos
18:58Oh terrible pass
19:03Tries to get it forward quickly
19:06There's a long ball
19:08There's a long ball
19:09Goyos
19:10And the assistant referee has his flag raised
19:13For offside
19:14Cagliari making consecutive changes here
19:29And it's Cagliarella
19:30He's got away
19:32It's Cagliarella
19:35Well he caught that pure
19:37But no end products
19:39Look
19:39It was achievable Peter
19:41But it needed his best
19:54And it's Pavoletti
19:59Foot in
20:05Hit long and direct
20:07Well played
20:08He saw that coming
20:10And no
20:11That is pretty much the end of that
20:15Questions were asked
20:16But he's given the answers
20:27Castledine
20:29Cagliarella
20:31It's pretty clear that he's being singled out
20:33Yeah and getting on the score sheet
20:35Has clearly made him a marked man though
20:40Here's the ball in
20:41Gets up to Henning
20:42Get himself offside
20:58Gets it upfield
21:04So not long left in this now
21:06Cagliari
21:07Have the body language of condemned men
21:10On the way to defeat again
21:12And the counter is on
21:14Finds himself eased off the ball
21:18Defence got the better of him this time
21:20But I'm sure he'll go again
21:25Goios
21:26Goios
21:27Cagliarella
21:29And he's going to go straight through to the keeper
21:35Looking to hit the front line
21:41Clavan
21:42Clavan
21:42Clavan cuts it out
21:43And now they can launch a counter
21:46That's been drilled forward
21:49Castledine
21:52Castledine drives it forward
21:55And that's the end of that
21:56It all started well enough
22:00He's fair to receive it
22:02Got offside that time
22:06Well they're being cut out too much
22:07For my liking
22:08It's not rocket science
22:12Yeah it was pretty obvious
22:13As to who was going to be taken off
22:15His energy levels began to sag
22:17And he was never going to last
22:19Until the final whistle
22:29Forward it goes
22:30Oh well defended
22:31That had to be done
22:37Hoist it forward
22:39Into a minimum of four minutes additional time
22:48Goios
22:48Lays it out to the flank
22:50Now the cross
22:51Gets his head to it
22:53No he can't turn it in
23:04And it's Pavoletti
23:08Well no question as to who's winning the battle in midfield at the moment
23:12Some very impressive pressing in place here
23:15He's away
23:18They've scored
23:22A contest no more
23:24It is nothing short of utter humiliation
23:31Well I think we've gone past humiliation now
23:33This could be doing some real psychological damage
23:38He's made it three
23:40Quite a day at the office for him
23:42Well he's been the outstanding player on the pitch
23:44And devastating in front of the goal
23:46What a display
23:46What a player
24:13Milan tear their opponents apart once again
24:18Referee looks at his watch
24:19And blows his whistle
24:21Milan has
