Everyone expected the usual rocket start of Bari that attacks the opponent and puts him on the corner, nothing more wrong, but Milan is soon to take over the reins of the meeting and Afar the game relying on their stars more proactive , Pirlo and Ronaldinho, well covered by Gattuso and Ambrosini.

So the Bari gets to observe the shortstop in the Rossoneri make or unmake the canvas, we try now Ambrosini with a high shot from the edge of a span, then we test Pato but his shot is controlled easily from Central Gillet, finally Abate with a cross-shot to tap the intersection of the poles.

The first incursion of Puglia, on the development of a corner, Bonera belt and tugging in front of goal Barreto, who ends. extremes are all for the penalty, Gava instead continue the protests of white and red.

Through unscathed this episode, the Rossoneri continue to annihilate the hosts suffocating their every whim offensive and taking the ball for twice the time of the adversaries, and inspired by a reviving Pirlo and a sumptuous Ronaldinho create offensive opportunities for the terminal favorite Borriello , the ram in the Rossoneri’s first diving header sends a foot right from the pole, then caught by Pirlo over defenders, controlled on his chest, turn and pull without fail, unless the row Bonucci, finally, to 42 °, served Beautifully Ronaldinho, coordinates and half scissors, her specialty now beats Gillet at the near post for the goal of the Rossoneri deserved lead.

The second half started with Milan continues to handle with ease the choking game every whim of his opponents, he tries so Pato from outside with the ball slips off to the right and then Ambrosini, whose shot is the contract in extremis.

The Bari seems to shake off his torpor, and for some minutes, it seems that strong-willed and return arrembante we know, but the momentum takes the brief moment of the beating of wings, enclosed by the limit of the punishment Barreto got up to 63 ° over the crossbar from Abbiati.

Inevitable, at 69 °, thus doubling Rossoneri arrives, the result of another amazing invention of Ronaldinho, released in the area by Jankulovsky, the gaucho on the bottom line comes and takes two steps, Gillet than rejecting the sphere, Bonucci free to head on their feet Pato who coordinates and, flying, flying Gillet still putting the ball in a forest of legs.

Immediately doubling the Bari discouraged and raise the white flag is exposed to quiet possession and spectacular with Ronaldinho to the Rossoneri give pearls to the audience.

Completely out of the inertia of the match reaches the 87th great opportunity to re-open the match, Pato in deep defensive retreat is overcome by dribbling Masiello and extends, strictly net, goes to the floppy Barreto and have wonderful dip in rejects dying in your throat the cry of goal to the people of Bari.

All have brought their valuable brick in the pursuit of victory and did so by preventing the opponent from being able to express their game and instead to always check the match dictating the pace and trying to assert its most technical and your supervisor technical rate.

Ronaldinho fantastic test that puts a hand in both goals and royal delights the audience, effectively and inostituibile Borriello, Ambrosini and Gattuso and invasive solid, the defense never goes in grief and have called this by saving a penalty that could reopen the match .

The Bari deeply disappointed, never came into the game, in the presence of a technically superior team, sank immediately, lost in his insecurities and his inability to deliver a game that has delighted audiences all over Italy, the moral is that, faced with a football team with the same belief, the difference is the technical means and motives, where Milan was absolutely superior.
