00:02Go Minamino, Moisa and Eric Dyer all injured. The two to come in. I'll vouch fast to see
00:08Mono Dingro, both signed in January. Lucas Hernandez, by the way, is back from suspension
00:13and he is amongst the substitutes. He got a red card. He gets very quick. Oh, Nuno Mendez gave
00:19that away. Dingro gets it wide to count. Enrique and Monaco have the lead inside a minute.
00:26Balogun heads Monaco in front. Balogun with a little layoff. And Balogun now with a run
00:39on goal. And the finish. Incredible. He scored twice. We haven't played 20 minutes yet. It's
00:51Monaco too. Well, his mind will be whirring, I'm sure, Luis Enrique. Oh, Voutfast has made
00:57the error. Karaskelia nicks it away from him. He's got Dembele in the middle and Voutfast
01:02has recovered. Oh, and he's given a penalty. Oh, what a bad, bad, bad bit of concentration
01:10there from Voutfast. Great play from Faraskelia because he could have rolled it, you know,
01:15across the, across the pitch. Vitinha facing Philippe Kern from the penalty spot for the European
01:26champions who are in trouble here. And it's saved brilliantly by Philippe Kern.
01:34Oh, what a moment that is. Because that gets PSG right back in the game if Vitinha pops that
01:42in. But, well, no one. This is some save, by the way. Great stop.
01:48He hits it hard, but it's the sort of penalty you guess right, you go the right way, you're
01:52going to get there. It's a big man, Kern. Gets his hands on that, yeah. Reaction says it all.
01:59Interesting to see that he goes down the middle.
02:05Whether it is just Desiree Douai that might go and play up top, we'll see.
02:17So Dembele, Anderson went to ground, but there's no foul being given and
02:20Joan Neves is trying to create here. Barcola hurtling one challenge, finding Douai who scores!
02:30Yes. Could well be his first touch since he came on the pitch and he puts it unerringly.
02:36Oh, the telltale sign there to me. Yeah, it's a goal. It's a goal. Desiree Douai has got Paris Saint
02:44-Germain off the mark in this tie and how they needed that.
02:46Certainly did. Brilliant goal.
02:54João Neves and space here for Desiree Douai.
03:02That's a good hit, well saved. Hakimi from the rebound, 2-2.
03:10Well, it's a brilliant finish from Hakimi.
03:15And the champions of Europe have turned adversity into parity.
03:22It's two each. It's top work that it really is.
03:24Too much room for Desiree Douai here.
03:27Once he goes inside Van Dersen now, someone else has got to be there.
03:31No one really there. No one closing that shot down.
03:35The goalkeeper doesn't make a bad job of it, but let's give Hakimi a lot of credit for the way
03:40that...
03:40I mean, that's come through a tight gap, but the way the fullback takes that touch and then finishes that
03:45all-in-one movement is brilliant play.
03:47It's a stunning goal.
03:54Douai spreading it away to Kwaretzcalia. Hakimi's on his right shoulder, giving him options.
04:00Kwaretzcalia goes into the area and hits the side netting.
04:04I think he's just surprised he hasn't scored. I know I am, because having gone this far with the ball
04:09and resisted all those challenges,
04:12you'd be backing him every day of the week to knock that one in.
04:15Look, he's scanning everything around him, sees the gap, drives into it, gets it on the right foot,
04:21and then just fails to hit the target. It's a massive turn.
04:30It is João Neves, and it's straight into the midriff of Philippe Kern.
04:35Well, as halves of football go, that is about as dramatic as it gets.
04:40Midway through the first half, Monaco led by two goals to nil.
04:45But the tie is very much alive, and it's been a really good watch the first 45 minutes.
04:49I hope we get more of the same.
04:51Off we go then.
04:54The second half of the first leg, return at the Parc des Princes a week tomorrow.
05:04You sort of feel maybe in ballpark terms that if Monaco were to go there with a one goal advantage,
05:10you might still feel that Paris were favourites. If it was a two goal advantage, which they did have at
05:16one stage, then maybe it might be about even Stevens.
05:20We were wondering whether Monaco might not be 3-0 up at one point, in which case you might really
05:25start to make them favourites.
05:26But it all turned back, and an early yellow card in the second half here for Alexander Holovine.
05:33He just dived in, just lunged into that challenge, didn't he, a bit there, Holovine?
05:42I think when that's slowed down for the VAR guys, that's not going to be good.
05:47He's going to go and have a look.
05:49Well, there weren't too many things on the spectrum of events that can happen in a football game, which didn't
05:55happen in the first half.
05:56But a red card was one that didn't. We're only two minutes into the second half.
06:02And we may be getting one here. Jesus Gilmanzano is now going to look at this challenge from Holovine on
06:09Vitinha.
06:11When you see it like that, Steve, when you see it like that, it's not good. It's high, it's planted
06:16on the top of his shin.
06:18It then writes down and writes more of the sock. But it's, it's going to go here. Yeah.
06:27Here is the confirmation of the red card.
06:35Alexander Holovine is dismissed.
06:41And yet another talking point in this extraordinary first leg.
06:48Here's Karadzcalia, Hakimi, Karadzcalia, Zaire Emery, and Douai, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant goal.
06:57Monaco 2, Paris Saint-Germain 3, an outstanding goal scored by the outstanding player on the pitch.
07:04Brilliant.
07:06Giving the instructions from Luis Enrique before he is introduced.
07:12Yes, it's nicely worked by Balogun. Oh my goodness me, that's not far away.
07:17Sorry, Zakaria, brilliant effort.
07:20Certainly Safinov was throwing himself to his right-hand side through the legs as well as Pacho.
07:25Great save. Yeah.
07:26Looks like he got a hand on that, but it goes through the legs of a defender.
07:30Goalkeepers are often in trouble. That's a proper save.
07:34He's been giving his last few details before he enters the frame. He's always got a goal in him.
07:38Chance here.
07:39Here's an opportunity for Barcola.
07:41Oh, well, Kurt kept it out. That might have been the tie right there, I think.
07:48And Bradley Barcola tucked that one in, but Douai has.
07:54I think the two-goal cushion going to Paris next week was too much for Monaco.
07:58Big moment. Some big incidents, a dramatic start to the game for the home team.
08:06Well, Paris Saint-Germain had the first leg lead to take home to the Parc des Prousses and 20-odd
08:14minutes into this game.
