In this match, Milan had nearly two-thirds of the possession, which helps explain just how the Rossoneri were able to put five past a defense which has conceded on only six other occasions at home this season. In fact, this was Sampdoria’s only home loss of the season.Milan must be feeling deflated after the way they lost to Roma on Saturday, by a score of 2-1. After taking the lead through a great one-time finish by Kakà, and almost scoring a second, only for Clarence Seedorf to fail to get a good-enough touch on the ball after going around the ‘keeper, Milan were in high spirits. When Clarence Seedorf was substituted for the defensive-minded Emerson, his teammates were all smiling and hugging him on the sideline, as though they foolishly believed the match was won.While Milan are struggling at the moment, Sampdoria are doing just the opposite, having moved into sixth place in the Serie A table. Factoring in the current form of the sides around them in the standings, they could even go further.
