Match report: Milan 4 - Siena 0

Above: Borriello scores
  • Goals scored: Ronaldinho (penalty) 12', Borriello 28', Ronaldinho 72', Ronaldinho 89'
  • What happened: Milan are in second place in Serie A; Siena are in last. Siena lost their goalkeeper to a red card in the first ten minutes. I spent most of the game worrying that Milan players would get hurt.
  • Milan players who scored a hat trick today: Ronaldinho
  • Milan players whose goals are always spectacular-looking: Borriello-- today he took a pass from Pirlo and volleyed it in even though he was turned away from goal.
  • Milan players who appeared to be possibly injured today: Nesta, Pirlo, Gattuso, Flamini and Antonini
  • Milan players who were taken off either because they actually were injured or as a precaution: Nesta and Flamini
  • Order of excellence of Milan's regular starting defenders this year: Thiago Silva, Nesta, Antonini, Abate
  • How David Beckham has done so far: Nothing special
  • Most interesting rumor reported by the announcer: Last week the Milan players were watching Inter play Siena on television. Inter was losing late but came back to win in injury time. When the game was over, one of the Milan players was so angry that they destroyed the television set.
  • Who Milan play next: Inter
  • What this match teaches us: Next Sunday's match against Inter is very, very important.
