Slovan Bratislava vs AC Milan

Transcript

00:00Good evening to you from the Slovakian capital of Bratislava on a typically chilly November night

00:10here. The UEFA Champions League returning with the champions of Slovakia Slovan Bratislava

00:16hosting one of European football's all-time greats. The might of Milan are here and with

00:24a desire to continue pushing themselves forward in this competition.

00:30Well the build-up to this in Bratislava in recent days as you can imagine has been big. Milan's

00:37presence around these parts was always going to be felt but the objective for Slovan Bratislava is to

00:45get those first Champions League points and they have to cast aside all thoughts of how much

00:51historical power might be standing in their way here.

00:54Slovan in the sky blue, Milan in the very recognisable Rossoneri

01:02It's a bit for supporters of the club draws often feels like defeats.

01:14There's two draws in a row now having played out of 3-3 with Cagliari. They're in trouble here Milan.

01:18This is a chance for Strelitz and what a block that is Pavlovich.

01:25Golden opportunity for Slovan Bratislava and doesn't Vladimir Weiss know it?

01:30How often do we see this? One team spurning a chance down one end and then the other scoring

01:37it's Pulisic and the save from Takac.

01:43Maybe just a bit too close to the keeper in the end.

01:46It's that chance for Pulisic. It is a top stop isn't it by Takac.

01:51Perhaps not as good as the block by Pavlovich at the other end who recognised the danger very quickly.

02:02Given away by Kutzko is disappointed with himself for doing so.

02:06Abraham has set Pulisic away who has got the time and has the composure as well.

02:12Another Champions League goal for Christian Pulisic. That is three in the campaign.

02:23And that is a decisive finish from the American well worked by Tammy Abrahams.

02:29Showed such beautiful feet in the build-up but there was still work for Pulisic to do.

02:34No chance that Medvedev was going to get back to him.

02:42Just cannot stop conceding goals to Slovan Bratislava in this competition.

02:47That has been a big issue and particularly here at home.

02:50Before against Manchester City ship, perhaps that was largely expected.

02:54But before they let in here against Dinamo Zagreb, certainly less so. That would have stung.

03:01Short one from Hernandez.

03:06Shaquese lingering and striking.

03:08Reinders are going to have to try and get back here.

03:12And he's got a lot of work to do because Slovan Bratislava might be in.

03:16It's Barsegian. It's one each.

03:29There's the Slovan counterpunch.

03:31And Bratislava is having one big party to celebrate.

03:46So massive questions about how a Milan attacking position has ended up with them conceding seconds later.

03:52What a supreme finish, though, from the Armenian Tigran Barsegian.

04:12Here's the chance they've been waiting for.

04:14And Rafael Leal takes it.

04:20Super smooth from the Portuguese.

04:22Off the bench and offering the source of response that Milan craved.

04:27And it's all come about from a really quick piece of thinking from the Italian team.

04:34Free kick worked sharply.

04:36The movement from Rafael Leal left by Blackman, who wasn't able to go with him.

04:42And Leal, who so often is so reliable in front of goal with a finish that really is

04:48not too dissimilar to the one scored by Barsegian in the same goal in the first half.

04:54Clipped over the keeper.

04:59And Milan's lead is restored.

05:04Slovan Bratislava one, Milan two.

05:07Slovan have dealt with and

05:11try and build.

05:12Australia's such dreadful.

05:13Abraham should score.

05:15It's 3-1.

05:16It's all over.

05:20What a gift that is

05:22for Tammy Abraham.

05:24His first Champions League goal for four years

05:27and plated up for him

05:29by the unfortunate David Strelets.

05:33Just isn't aware at all that

05:36Abraham was there until he played it.

05:38He looked up and he immediately put his hands on his face because he knew.

05:42And the credit to Tammy Abraham, who didn't hang around.

05:46Swift turn recognized that Takac hadn't had the opportunity to set himself.

05:50Keeper got a piece on it, but not enough on it.

05:53Now Pavlovich has got some defending to do here.

06:01Milan are a little open.

06:04Marcelli!

06:05That is a blistering strike.

06:17No wonder the 19-year-old has caught Milan's eye.

06:21Mike Magnan just didn't see it.

06:23That is the strike that teenage dreams are made of from Nino Marcelli.

06:33What a hit.

06:37Didn't seem possible for him to score from there to beat a goalkeeper of

06:40Manjan's quality.

06:44But that's how good the hit was.

06:51A natural winger.

06:53And suddenly...

06:54Oh, I thought for a moment they were going to get going again there.

06:57But actually,

06:58Ian Otenko has been penalized and booked.

07:00Or is it Tolic that's been booked?

07:03Tolic needs to be a bit careful here.

07:05Oh, I think he said too much.

07:09He's going to go.

07:10He's going to go.

07:11It's a red card.

07:13Well, that's absolutely crazy from Marko Tolic.

07:18He has been cautioned twice in a matter of seconds for descent towards the referee.

07:28And I understand that he's angry, but...

07:32Just as his team had a bit of momentum...

07:34He's gone and put a buffer on it.

07:38It wasn't even him that made the challenge either.

07:40I mean, the feeling is that Ian Otenko might have got a bit of the ball, but...

07:47For Tolic to react that way...

07:50It's unnecessary and it's potentially costly.

07:56Milan are not going to be in any rush now to get things going again.

08:04Final few seconds.

08:05So why not have a go?

08:08Rinder's effort calmed away by Takac.

08:15The Milan momentum goes on.

08:18Three Champions League wins on the spin for Paolo Fonseca's team.

08:21But not tonight without their worries.

08:25Slovan Bratislava have made this particularly tough for the seven-time champions of Europe this evening.

08:32They are still without a point in this season's Champions League.

08:38But they will take great hope from what they have served up tonight.

08:41That there might yet be opportunities to collect something in the final few weeks.

08:47There are still words being exchanged by those on the pitch.

08:51It's been a busy night for the Spanish official.

08:52It's been a great night of football.

08:55A great night of entertainment.

08:58And a victory for Milan.

08:59It's finished.

09:00Slovan Bratislava to Milan three.

09:31I don't know or do.

09:32It's finished.

09:45you will see what everybody has come from now.
