00:00After he missed the weekend game with a hamstring problem that keeps him on the
00:05bench tonight. Hugo Vettelsen returned some illness to take his place among the
00:09subs, but Romeo Vermont has been out with a leg problem for the last month.
00:13After joining from Spain, Hledeski, Van Delsen, Pogba and Golovkin are all out
00:18injured, with Monaco only naming seven outfielders on the bench.
00:23Tresoldi, here's Forbes. Tresoldi again. Forbes has gone on here and the cutback is good!
00:32Oh, it should have been 1-0.
00:42Renzol is arriving just about in the perfect place on his right side but
00:48didn't catch it cleanly at all.
00:53...
01:00Cleoche, carrying it into Balogun Minamino
01:04and Biaret nearly onto this and does go down! It's a penalty!
01:11Well the first time that Monaco have clicked into gear in this game and they get a spot kick.
01:15They haven't had a penalty so far this season.
01:25Atliouche took one in Liga last season and scored it.
01:32Can he give Monaco the lead here?
01:34No, he can't!
01:35It's saved and booted away by the veteran Mignolet.
01:41Atliouche didn't put too much power into it at all.
01:44He plays for Tresoldi.
01:52Forbes is the central option.
01:53Niccolò Tresoldi deflected and grabbed by Köln.
01:58Tresoldi.
02:01Zollis left, Forbes right, it's Forbes.
02:05Carlos Forbes here for Klubbrugge.
02:10Moise.
02:10They've done really well, but here's Van Aken.
02:16Two square, Tresoldi blocked by Köln.
02:21Well, Moise did really well initially, but it was a really cheap giveaway.
02:26Van Aken there with just about the perfect ball into Tresoldi.
02:29Sabah, Forbes, a youthful right side for Klubbrugge and Van Aken.
02:35I don't think he realized how much space he had.
02:37Tresoldi, this time finds a way through.
02:41And on his Champions League debut, gets his first Champions League goal.
02:48He's going to get bodies back as quickly as possible here, Monaco.
02:51Forbes will take them on, though.
02:54He's still going, Forbes.
02:56And it comes through here to Zollis.
02:58It could be 2-0.
03:00And it so very nearly was one of the most exciting sides in European football when they're in full flow like this.
03:09And Zollis really should have done better.
03:12Plenty of opportunities to strike before he eventually did.
03:19Going to that near post just made it slightly...
03:22Van Aken's corner, a flying header scooped away by Cohen, Forbes across, and it's in.
03:29It's 2-0.
03:37Raphael on Yedica.
03:41Chris and Zollis standing over this.
03:46And the back of Odoñez.
03:48Van Aken, oh, that's glorious.
03:52Great vision from Van Aken and Klubbrugger are surely home and dry already.
04:11Just about everything they're touching is turning to gold.
04:14More goals now.
04:15Nice to believe.
04:22Look at this wonderful volley.
04:31The captain's stepping up.
04:32All three of his previous Champions League goals came in the first three games they played in the 21-22 season.
04:41He's been waiting a while for that.
04:43And that was spectacular.
04:46Oh, cheap giveaway, and Forbes can make them pay!
04:53The Portuguese just pulling it wide.
04:58But what a first half it has been for Klubbrugger.
05:01If he does slot in there.
05:02No real stranger to that role.
05:03If Monaco are going to be strangers in this second half or not.
05:08And Swinger is deep, free header and wide from Aleksandr Stankovic.
05:16Second and goal for the club.
05:17He netted here in the 6-0 win against Rangers in their playoff second leg.
05:31And here tonight, for a largely withdrawn midfielder, he could not have wished for a better chance.
05:37And then more Premier League opposition as Tottenham Hotspur travel to the Principality as well on Matchday 3.
05:46Still dealing with Matchday 1.
05:48Solis, Forbes, a chance for four!
05:52Oh!
05:53It's the side netting him behind.
05:57It's hard not to have so much admiration for this Klubbrugger side.
06:02The attack with such pace and direct play.
06:06And now the players right the way across the front line that can do the damage.
06:10Forbes couldn't quite this time, though.
06:15Now we'll do Dieffen coming on as well.
06:17One of the places is Carlos Forbes out wide.
06:20Only 19 years old, a France under 20 international sign from France in the summer.
06:28That's a nice pick out.
06:29Solis.
06:32Hasn't scored yet!
06:34And he still hasn't.
06:39He looks destined to hit the target and find the net at some stage here, Christophe Solis.
06:44He's done plenty of other good things in the game so far, but couldn't quite bend that one back inside.
06:49So, Ansu Pati is on here.
06:59He has replaced Klo Balogun.
07:03They've actually got three league games before their next Champions League outing.
07:12Says the cross, Fesaldi leaves it.
07:15Diakon with a chance.
07:16And on his Champions League debut, he gets in on the act.
07:22Klo Brugge have fought.
07:24Klo Brugge have fought.
07:29Klo Brugge.
07:31Turned by Minamino.
07:33Just about as threatening as they've been in this second half.
07:36They needed protecting that clean sheet.
07:49Minamino.
07:50Another set.
07:51And this time they do have a goal.
07:54Ansu Pati with his first for the club on his debut.
07:57Off the bench to add nothing more than a consolation.
08:00What a night it's been for Klo Brugge.
08:07Just about as good an evening on Matchday 1 as you could wish to imagine from their point of view.
08:124-1 winners here at the Jan Bredelstadion.
