00:02The forecast is for a drop or two of rain as the day grows older.
00:08But regardless of that, there is a lovely backdrop here.
00:10The ambience is good, smashing noise from both sets of supporters
00:14and expectations high in both caps.
00:20Here's a venue this which simply adds to the spectacle of the game.
00:25Oh, shooting charts!
00:27And it's a goal!
00:33And that is about as cool as they've come.
00:36He picks his spot expertly.
00:38Well, you know, sometimes it pays off not to think too much about things,
00:42just put your foot through it.
00:43And that was a good example.
00:44Great contact and the keeper had very little chance.
00:47Well, thank you.
01:16Milan take the early advantage
01:21Pellegrini
01:25Inlet goes on a charge down the left
01:31Surely that deserved better
01:33Well there are a few pockets of space that are being exploited
01:36And they need filling and fast
01:41Andre Almeida
01:45Milan were simply a class apart in the corresponding fixture last season
01:49They dismantled their opponents
01:54Parcas
02:00Great build up
02:01It all deserved a better ending
02:03That was created because of good lively movement
02:06Which pretty much dictated the pass
02:15Andre Almeida
02:18Ruppertal
02:19Pellegrini
02:25He's got away
02:31Inlet
02:32There he goes
02:33Motoring forward
02:34He's one on one
02:36Room for a shot
02:40Coric
02:44Parotti
02:47That'll be a throw in
03:00Milan
03:01Milan have hit the front early
03:03A foothold in the game
03:04Always when you score early
03:06It gives you such a lift
03:07He's done it
03:07Yeah he's fouled in there
03:19Andre Almeida
03:22Coric
03:27Inlet gets it back
03:30And now they can launch a counter
03:33And he's away
03:34Big chance
03:36And he's there to make a great save
03:39Oh that's a sparkling save
03:40Absolutely sparkling
03:42His reflexes work ultra sharp
03:55Roma have it back
03:56And they can go again
04:01Forward it goes
04:05And he's going to be pulled back
04:06For that one
04:21Just ruffled a few feathers
04:23But well dealt with
04:30Arcas
04:30Got a
04:32It's one
04:34Big relief
04:35Just needed better contact
04:49Base
05:01Milan scored early of course
05:03And it's one nil
05:08Coric
05:11Out to the left
05:12It goes
05:16That's a foul
05:17Three kicks been given
05:36As he picks him out
05:38Arcas
05:39He's through
05:40And Arcas
05:43Goal
05:46Two up
05:47And threatening to pull clear
05:53The purest possible contact
05:55What a fabulous strike
05:57And the contact was fantastic
05:59Right on the boot races
06:00And it packed a lot of venom
06:01For what was a really potent strike
06:03For what was a really potent strike
06:04For what was a really potent strike
06:32Milan take a two-goal lead and things should be comfortable from here on in
06:37Well with this kind of authority Peter why not push on and totally kill this off?
06:49It's Calicuri battles to win it back
06:59And they'll made up karate was brushed off the ball there
07:12Arcas Arcas gets it out to the wing Calicuri
07:30Arcas
07:32It's off targeted by quite a way. I look I don't want to sound too dismissive, but from here that
07:38looks the harder thing to do
07:47Karate
07:50Pellegrini
07:54He's played him through
07:57Arcas
07:59Oh, that was nice, but not quite the end product required. It didn't quite come off on this occasion, but
08:05it only needs a gentle tweak
08:13For roti good challenge. He just stood firm
08:18Arcas
08:28And they've been caught out here
08:34And a goal kick
08:36K
08:48Calicuri
08:50Calicuri
08:59Pellegrini drives it forward
09:05Great strength, too strong for his opponent
09:09Ruperto
09:13Plays it out to the flank
09:21Arcas
09:28That was good pressing
09:29Forced the error to put an end to it
09:31Before things could get even more threatening
09:37That's a foul
09:38Simple decision for the referee
09:53Inlet tries to get it forward quickly
09:58Decent looking ball
10:00Arcas
10:01He's left his man
10:03Shapes to shoot
10:05And more
10:07And more and more and more
10:09And the lead is extended still further
10:18That really is quite fabulous
10:21All his own doing
10:22Oh, look, it's always great to see a solo effort with a goal
10:26It's the ideal combination of pace and control
10:55Three without reply
10:57Three without reply
10:57This is becoming a stroll
10:59This is becoming a stroll
11:27Ball anywhere
11:28And the half-time whistle goes
11:32As easy as 1-2-3
11:34It really has been that straightforward
11:36Halfway through the match
11:38But very little to suggest that much will change
11:41Over the second half
11:44This looks well
11:45This looks well and truly sewn up already
11:47But please feel free to forget what I've just said
11:50If there's a spectacular turnaround
11:54Milan 3-0 up at the break
11:56Precisely as they would have dreamt it
11:59And if you're just back from your break
12:01You've missed very little of the resumption of the second half
12:07They're guilty of lacking inventiveness here
12:09It's all broken down
12:10And he's made sure that that won't get through
12:17Luperto gets good distance on it
12:19Tries to switch to play
12:23Andre Almeida
12:30No for he's given a throw
12:39Hoists it forward
12:43Got a shot away
12:46And he should have made it for
12:48Well Peter, I would say it was worth a try
12:53Gets it back
12:59And going for goal
13:04Caliguri
13:07And he's there to cut it out
13:12Base
13:16Pellegrini
13:18Well already
13:19Game set and match
13:20Or so it feels
13:27And he just whacks it away
13:35Quick glance at goal
13:38That's offside
13:39Yes it is
13:46Gets it upfield
13:49Looks to clip it forward
13:51Oh well intercepted
13:52Really alerts the danger
13:54Oh he's not going to get that
13:59Pellegrini
14:01Base
14:04Inlet battles to win it back
14:11Inlet
14:13Here's the cross
14:16It's out for a goal
14:31On to Elmeida
14:37No question, that's a foul
14:51Parotti
14:53Whistle's gone
14:54That's a foul
15:06That's too far for anyone
15:14Arcas
15:17Caliguri
15:20He's had a goal
15:22Oh he couldn't get hold of it
15:27Parotti
15:28Gets his foot in there
15:30Yeah he's pulled him up
15:31For that challenge
15:44Ty's lifting it over
15:49Oh that is asking for trouble
15:51No mistake
15:55It is no contest
15:57It is a landslide
16:00Well you know
16:01Thinking about that
16:02I think they've perfected that
16:03On the training ground
16:04Because it took them seconds
16:06To get the ball from back to front
16:07And they really commit forward
16:09In numbers too
16:10It was all very well drilled
16:24Things looking so easy
16:26Almost too easy here
16:33Undair
16:34He's coming on the right now
16:36What's on?
16:41With an air of confidence about him
16:43A certain swagger
16:45Well that was a mini show
16:46Of self-confidence
16:47It may spark another try
16:49Or another tryer
16:53Whistle's gone
16:54That's a foul
16:56He gets a ticking off
16:57And needs to be very careful now
17:01Keepers got good distance on that
17:07Milan really are
17:08Enduring a frustrating spell
17:11When it comes to
17:12Trying to move the ball
17:13Around the midfield
17:13They lack the sharpness
17:15Emergency
17:15Goes for goal
17:16In it goes
17:21And again
17:22They pile up the misery
17:28Listen
17:29When you're on an invitation
17:30To improve your goal difference
17:32Weighs off
17:35He scuffles his turn
17:37And that earns him the match ball
17:38That defence must be sick
17:40Of the sight of him
17:41He's been persistent
17:42And ruthless all game
17:43He just hasn't stopped working
18:09Milan tear their opponents apart
18:12Once again
18:13They are utterly ruthless
18:16Well unsurprisingly Peter
18:17The opposition look completely stunned
18:19I'm not sure they can gather themselves
18:26Roma are stuck in central station
18:28And they might find a fast track out wide
18:31If they care to look
18:34Can't get the better of his opposite number
18:48Just brushed off the ball there
18:50As Serbi plays it forward
18:53Back to the keeper
18:54And go again
18:56Managed to get it away
18:58Great strength
18:59Too strong for his opponent
19:00That's an untidy challenge
19:02Free kick given
19:15Base
19:18That's great strength on the ball
19:20Undair
19:23And once more
19:24They can't get through
19:26Certainly caught him there
19:27It's a free kick
19:42Gets it back
19:47He's got away
19:48Shoots
20:11Good challenge
20:13He just stood firm
20:18That had to be more accurate
20:21They're actually not getting too tight
20:22Which is interesting
20:23No
20:24It's probably cautionary
20:26Don't dive in
20:27Try to pinch it
20:28Or intercept
20:29So nobody can get in behind
20:33That's surely a foul
20:34Free kick
20:59I was expecting him to play it in
21:01Until I saw his run-up
21:04Moy
21:05Arcas
21:09And the shots
21:12A reprieve
21:14Albeit perhaps momentary
21:30Just five minutes remaining now
21:41Has a pop
21:43Oh impressive strike
21:58Pellegrini
21:59Looking cross field
22:01Changing the point of attack
22:06Good running with the ball
22:07Can the real chance
22:10Well I don't think it was the wisest option
22:13Peter
22:13Once he got into that position
22:15It's not as if
22:16He didn't have people nearby
22:20That intervention was very necessary
22:26Base
22:27Oh real danger here
22:31Time added on
22:32Four minutes
22:35Perotti
22:40Perotti
22:41And it's Calicuri
22:43It's a loose ball
22:45Perotti
23:01And there goes the final whistle
23:03Milan comfortable winners
23:05That's what they're going to say
23:05I saw the first thing in the
