00:10You
00:17So perfect blue skies almost no wind beautiful sunshine
00:22These are in the conditions for the beautiful game the backdrop here picturesque idyllic
00:28No doubt one of the best days of the footballing calendar and it has added to a really jovial happy
00:35mood in the stands
00:36Helping to raise the level of sound by more than a few decibels
00:40Shirt sleeve order very much the dress code. He certainly caught him there. It's a free kick
00:47There could be trouble here
00:48For now the referee is keeping his cards in his pocket
00:59It's been intercepted and that will come to nothing
01:03Yeah, that's top defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities
01:10He's not played the ball that's a foul
01:22Hit long and direct
01:32Milan were imperious when the two sides last met and the fans are asking for more of the same
01:40There's an early warning shot across the bow or teacher. I would say it was worth a try
01:50Greatly
01:57No space no problem. You just cannot stop him
02:01Well, I think that defense there thought they were in good position and they had it where they wanted yet
02:06Somehow he's worked the scoring position when it didn't see him on. It's really crafty business time
02:30Bologna took the early advantage
02:40He is not one readily to admit defeat, don't be surprised if he tries down again
02:49Calicuri, Milan, which is one of their best performances, and the finish!
03:03Oh, shooting chance!
03:07Good try, the outcome could so easily have been different.
03:10That's a little unfortunate, he had a lot of people worried then.
03:19Well, he's made sure that that won't get through.
03:24Forward it goes. Timely intervention.
03:30And that'll be a goal kick.
03:40Doesn't get the pass he's looking for.
03:44Oh, no, that's not the ball he wanted.
03:50Tries to get it forward quickly.
03:56Plays it out to the flank.
03:59He gets past his man.
04:01Whistle's gone, that's a foul.
04:06He gets a ticking off and needs to be very careful now.
04:11Well, he knew what he was taking on there, Peter, and special delivery from the ref.
04:16It's anyone's ball!
04:23That's great strength on the ball.
04:26That's one way of trying to make things happen.
04:29There's a few who could follow that example.
04:30There's a couple.
04:32Going through.
04:35Chance!
04:36It's a foul!
04:37Go for it!
04:38And the ball's come out!
04:49Well, that's where he wants it.
04:56Bologna couldn't do a whole lot with it there.
04:58They could do with more sharpness in their passing.
05:07Hoists it forward.
05:10Just brushed off the ball there.
05:16And the counter is on.
05:18And that's a foul.
05:19Three kicks been given.
05:31The ball stands firm.
05:33And it's bounced out.
05:36What a call, son!
05:39It's in!
05:45Simplicity itself.
05:47Yeah, and all engineered, Peter,
05:49by some smart running and movement.
05:51That's already something to admire.
05:53But how about the pass?
05:55Just wonderful.
05:56Loved it.
06:24And that has added a whole new complexion to the game.
06:27Well, look, Peter, who knows what's about to happen from here.
06:30Uh, I doubt this will be the final score, though.
06:34Gets his foot in there.
06:36That a foul?
06:36Yes, the referee's given it.
07:04No, it's not going to make it.
07:08Gets it back.
07:08He's pinged one through here.
07:10That's a hit!
07:12It's an absolute thunderbolt!
07:15Oh, it really is a finish of the highest order!
07:20And the game is well and truly turned on its head!
07:28Well, no goalkeeper would keep that out.
07:30It really was a bullet.
07:32Oh, the contact was fantastic.
07:34Right on the bootlaces, and it packed a lot of venom for what was a really potent strike.
08:03Well, this is what we've been waiting for.
08:05Well, they're very much the better team at the moment, Peter, and no doubt we'll be looking to
08:10to cause even more damage here.
08:14It's gone a long way up and away.
08:26Gets wrestled off the ball.
08:28This is gone.
08:28That's a foul.
08:30The ref's been lenient here.
08:32Again, he'll get too many more chances.
08:35It's gone.
08:43Whose ball?
08:45Who's going to get there?
08:47Look forward.
08:48What does he try from here?
08:51Fires from distance.
08:54And that will sail harmlessly past.
08:57Look, it was achievable, Peter, but it needed his best.
09:05Alegure.
09:10And it's in line.
09:13Good idea.
09:14Just poorly executed.
09:19Carlsen.
09:26And they're at it again in double quick time.
09:35Looking back at that, that's how you play on the counter, quick and decisive and ruthless with the finish.
09:41I thought it was a stunning, stunning breakaway.
09:49I thought it was a stunning, stunning breakaway.
10:16so the lead now is two
10:18well it's been a
10:20an absolutely fabulous spell for them
10:22and they're starting to look unstoppable
10:24there could be more on the way
10:27he's looked long this time
10:30you can get that clear
10:33has gone out
10:42Kulsan
10:43and another time
10:45and it's there
10:49all too easy
10:50they are in danger of disappearing out of sight
10:59he was so alert to the possibilities there
11:01great stuff
11:02oh peter you can't teach that
11:04you either have it or you don't
11:06his anticipation is on another level
11:08to everyone else's
11:09superb
11:12he snaffles his turn
11:13and that earns him the match ball
11:15oh he's been unstoppable in this match
11:17every single time he's been in possession
11:19he's looked a threat
11:35it's starting to look like a ton deal now
11:37no doubt as to who has the momentum here now
11:40the only doubt
11:41is how many is coming
11:47and it's played forward
11:52the ball's come loose
11:53and the chase is on
11:58Carlson
12:00great strength
12:01too strong for his opponent
12:03Carlson
12:04has alert to the possibilities
12:06but in the end it's fruitless
12:12has he found his man
12:16needless to say
12:17he was expecting a better ball
12:18than that
12:21defenders on the back foot
12:23he's one on one
12:26that's a missed time tackle
12:27and it is a penalty
12:29Milan present their opponents
12:31with the best possible chance here
12:39and that's one back
12:42oh dispatched with certainty
12:45well the keeper certainly guessed right
12:46but there was enough power to find the target
12:50so just a consolation
12:52or is there a way back from here
12:56well positioned to make that interception
13:00battles to win it back
13:03going for goal
13:05a real chance
13:07and a real let off
13:09well Peter he clearly felt
13:10he was being invited to shoot
13:12and it wasn't the worst decision
13:14he could have made
13:18and they've got it back
13:20as soon as they gave it away
13:27has a goal
13:43tries to get it forward quickly
13:45tries to get it forward quickly
13:57gets a good foot in there
14:00Carlsen
14:01nice
14:02and a shot
14:03good effort
14:04and it is right on half time
14:07Milan produced a terrific spell at the end there
14:10culminating in a chance that their fans could not believe did not go in
14:14Milan are two up
14:16and on the balance of things I would say
14:18deservedly so
14:19they had a very coherent game plan
14:22and if they are allowed to continue
14:24in the same vein
14:25I can only see the margin getting bigger
14:29Milan two up
14:30but it is a crazy undulating unpredictable game
14:35we're properly into the second 45 minutes
14:39no changes at the interval from either side
14:44oh red he's sorted that out
14:47Carlsen
14:51that's got a rattled
14:55and it's played forward
14:59Carlsen needed to be better than that
15:00and he knows it
15:06and that's been one straight back
15:11forward it goes
15:14Carlsen
15:15Carlsen
15:18he's missed it
15:29a Serbi
15:30sticks in a foot to win it back
15:36Bologna
15:36and the receiving end of some fairly harsh
15:39he's caught in there
15:40it's a free kick
16:03tries to get it forward quickly
16:07Inla
16:14this defence just doesn't trust itself to play a higher line
16:18frighten the people getting in behind
16:19yeah absolutely
16:20it just opens up the opportunity of not only strikers getting behind
16:24but the runners from midfield too
16:31chip through
16:33last ditch defending but that'll do
16:40hoists it forward
16:48gets it back
16:50and it's played forward
16:52well intercepted
16:54really alerts the danger
16:57and it's going to be a good
16:58Sansone
17:00Carlsen
17:01he's now the subject of some adhesive marking
17:04yeah and the fact that he's registered Peter
17:06simply
17:06it's in lock
17:08goal
17:11and the lead is extended still further
17:17Milan are really pouncing on any straight passes in midfield
17:21we're talking seconds from interception to the back of the net
17:24it's counter attacking heaven
17:47Milan grab a three goal lead
17:50it's just too easy
17:55finds himself eased off the ball
17:59decent looking ball
18:00has a puck
18:03lacking inaccuracy
18:04well I think a little eagerness just got the better of him
18:07he may have been thinking about back page headlines there
18:25he wasn't very far from making something happen by himself
18:28lovely to see
18:36it's out for a goal kick
18:48foot in
18:50Carlsen
18:58in with the challenge
19:00the question that's a foul
19:15forward it goes
19:22one behind for a goal kick
19:25yeah their position is a dominant one now Peter
19:28so introducing one of the youngsters for some added experience is bang on
19:36trying to play it through
19:38oh that just required a bit more oomph to reach its target
19:45lovely close control
19:50another chance from a corner
19:59and he heaves it forward
20:01and he heaves it forward
20:03play for a throw
20:11he's come through and he's had a quick look inside
20:22good challenge he just stood firm

20:47he can't hurt you with his back to goal
20:50and he didn't go for the back heel
20:59nice touch
21:01time to deliver
21:05Carlsen
21:09has a hit
21:11oh almost a six
21:14his radar picked up on that very quickly
21:17and he was supposed to react
21:19nice to get it forward quickly
21:27he's got away
21:29great run on the overlap here
21:31keeps everyone guessing
21:34the fence got the better of him this time
21:36but I'm sure he'll go again
21:40questions were asked
21:41but he's given the answers
21:45he's put a stop to that
21:50Bologna
21:50being made to look sloppy in possession here
21:54good run
21:55ultimately thwarted by an astute piece of defending
21:58crowd appreciates good football all round there
22:03yeah it's pretty obvious as to who is going to be taken off
22:06his energy levels began to to sag
22:08and he was never going to last until the final whistle
22:22he ran himself into trouble there
22:24free kick given away
22:52just brushed off the ball there
22:54Carlsen
22:59that's good progress he's made on the ball

23:06some real no-nonsense defending
23:14gets it back
23:17regardless of the outcome
