Going through the round of events with the AC Milan VS SSC Bari Timeline it becomes evident that the match was dominated by Milan as he slowly gained complete command. There was a restrained start to the game, but after Milan got into its stride, then there was possession and territorial control. There is a sense of Bari falling into disarray in an attempt to keep his shape after giving in, letting Milan control the pace. The intriguing aspect is the way Milan did not hurry without the necessity of having the lead. Rather, the chronology is composed of composure, patience and experience. The sporadic periods of attack that Bari shows to add to the point further highlights the fact that control in football is not only about goals, but denying the opponent a good opportunity to build momentum.
