00:00well games involving Monaco and Paris FC this season have tended to produce goals lots of them
00:08it was certainly the case during the week as Monaco won 5-3 in Nantes and Paris FC drew a
00:15six-goal thriller with Lyon let's see what these two teams can produce tonight here in the
00:21principality Monaco looking to keep pace with Paris Saint-Germain at the summit and Paris FC
00:27just looking to keep a safe distance from the relegation zone
00:30Monaco with a superb record of course here at home the last domestic defeat they suffered in this
00:50stadium was against Paris Saint-Germain in the first weeks of this season under Adi Herter 16 goals
00:55conceded after 10 games comes out for the shot from range from Golovin flies over the bar from the
01:06rushing the first attempt on Kevin Trapp's goal
01:09Biret looking for that confidence boosting goals ended in draws one two on the bounce since then
01:27looking to make it three wins in a row this evening and the golden chance for Golovin
01:32in the away goal and Thilo Keira with the Monaco captain's armband on here's Akliouche French international for Biret
01:44Mika Biret laying it back it's nicely done Koulibaly out to the right-hand side and the curled effort
01:51from Krepandiatta very close to the break spent the majority of the first half an hour here on the front foot
02:00maybe with some work to do and pick the ball out of his neck three times during the week the Swiss goalkeeper
02:10Kepal's delivery
02:15tucked by Casso at the back post and Casso's effort comes back off the upright unable to divert the header
02:24on target this was the first chance for Jean-Philippe Casso who brought that ball down and the shot coming back off the upright with Philippe Coen beaten
02:32Thilo Keira eventually getting the ball clear
02:37as they say the Dutchman
02:41Koulibaly
02:44just drifting out to the right Koulibaly looking for Akliouche they do tend to look for Magneze Akliouche understandably
02:50it's their chief creator
02:53he's going to bring the play back here for a free kick
02:57involved there
03:01in the Champions League on a couple of occasions Union Saint-Gilois losing to Newcastle United
03:07a few weeks back and then
03:09one of his first games with Monaco coming here against Tottenham Hotspur
03:13Teze feeding it forward Gullivan to Biret maybe this time
03:20Olila with the interception
03:22rather optimistically suggesting that that was a back pass but it's clearly just a tackle from Thomas Olila
03:29recently
03:33back-to-back wins
03:38against Messe and Brest between the end of August and
03:42the middle of September but it's just one win in six since then
03:48that was at home to Lorient in the meeting of the top two in the second division last season
03:54but they're holding Monaco at the moment
03:57two teams who were involved in thrilling games during the week
04:01it's been a rather
04:03so this is the end of the first half
04:07and we don't have goals yes we are goalless in the first 45 Monaco
04:12and Paris FC
04:14are tied
04:15nil-nil but I'm sure that the best is yet to come so here's one advice don't go anywhere
04:21then touch the remote we're coming back with the highlights and so much more
04:24and the Stars for Monaco is out
04:28so ladies and gentlemen this is about to start and move you're watching Beansports
04:33possibly not a change in formation but
04:38double substitution for Monaco at the start of the second half as they
04:43look for more against Paris FC
04:47nil-nil at the break between these teams
04:49and they gave an awful lot during the week in high scoring encounters
04:54first half tonight not living up to expectations in that regard
04:59Paris FC will be very pleased with defensive solidity
05:03but Monaco immediately pushing forward at the beginning of the second half here
05:08kept in by Olila
05:16touch back the way towards Golovin
05:32pushing the back on Kibal the referee playing the advantage
05:41Chergi to Pierre Lesmelou
05:43coming back to camera this is the film Tomas Olila
05:47by Idumbo
05:51as far as Lopez lovely play and into the middle
05:57and a goal for Paris FC from Moses Simon
06:01to the delight of the small band of travelling supporters
06:07he sweeps that ball into the net all credit to the captain Maxime Lopez for his
06:11play here on the right-hand side to make the goal
06:15the ex-marseille man the skipper knocking the ball past Denis Idumbo and cutting it back for Simon
06:23on the edge of the six-yard box to sweep in his third goal for his new club
06:29it's Monaco nil Paris FC one
06:31come from behind there
06:33in danger of a first home league defeat in 2025
06:38Akliouche to Balogun
06:41haven't really seen the substitute do anything yet but he tees up Akliouche for the shot
06:45Trapp makes the save that's better for the home team
06:47to get among the goals again a little acceleration
06:51he played it to Balogun in the first place got it back again
06:55finishing off from a Maxime Lopez assist
06:57just after the break and Paris FC
06:59leading one nil here
07:01Monaco a free kick
07:05again a decent chance to put the ball into the box
07:07Teze with the delivery
07:09and Trapp with a fine double save
07:11the flag comes up again
07:13it wouldn't have counted
07:15Kevin Trapp didn't know that
07:19and I think this time it's clearer
07:21Salisu was offside when that ball was played
07:24it was his header initially
07:25kept out by Kevin Trapp
07:27and then Trapp doing really well to stop Ansu Fati from the follow-up
07:34when he played his first game
07:36August of 2018
07:39Moses Simon
07:44the ball into the box it's going to fall for Liz Melu
07:51shot blocked
07:53just not seeing the intensity levels from Monaco that they really need
08:00if they have to turn this around this is a game they want to be winning
08:03right now they might just take a point
08:06yellow card shown to Koulibaly for that challenge right in front of the referee
08:11catching Pierre Les Melu
08:14catching Pierre Les Melu
08:18Koulibaly
08:20a run of fixtures they are in at the moment
08:23at the moment
08:24Mbou does well
08:27there's Ilan Kibal
08:29maybe a chance here
08:30for Paris FC to break
08:32but they'll happily
08:33be frustrating second half for Monaco
08:36and that slightly sums it up
08:39did he need to make that challenge Minamino and Mustafa Mbou?
08:42I don't think he did
08:49Kai Henrique brings it down
08:51nodded back into the middle by Diatta
08:54and there's the snapshot from Minamino which is wide and
08:57harmless at least it's a shot it's the first time in a long time that Monaco have actually had an attempt on goal
09:04Kipal winning the free kick now
09:14Kipal winning the free kick now
09:19Sufati just getting involved in a bit of a flash point having to be separated from
09:23stood up to Monaco
09:25they haven't thrown an awful lot at them
09:27they've worked hard and they took the chance when it came in the early parts of the second half
09:31and it looks like that's going to be enough for them
09:34there is the final whistle
09:36Paris FC have done it
09:38cheers of joy from the tiny band of travelling fans at one end of the St Louis Deux
09:42and jeers of disappointment
09:44so maybe one of the biggest surprise of this match day is right here
