00:00Monaco in the red and white shirts start tonight on 10 points against English Premier League
00:14opposition in Aston Villa who are on 13 points with just tonight and match day 8
00:21to conclude the league phase of this Champions League season.
00:30But he intercepted the pass from Mings which was meant for Tielemans and Konczers conceded the
00:37games opening corner, it's actually Akli Ushu, six Monaco shirts inside the
00:46Aston Villa, penalty area and in on the rebound and it's centre back Wilfred Singo who gives
00:59Monaco the early lead here, first to react after the goalkeeper Ebi Martinez parried away the
01:11initial strong header, it's an excellent corner and Monaco attack it really well here, Khera
01:21who met it and Martinez couldn't get it out of the danger area and Singo reacted very very quickly
01:28ahead of camera and really couldn't miss once he got there with the head, Wilfred Singo and the
01:36Ivorian defender gives Monaco the perfect start, he was a little ponderous in possession there the
01:47Monaco captain but he's got a free kick frustration for Tielemans but they will be one of the top 16
01:58finishes and go a long way to a top 8 finish for Villa you would have thought. Headers wide, I think the flag was up wide, yeah it wouldn't have counted had it gone in, positive wherever you look at the moment for Monaco who come again with Ben Sagir and the shot, brilliant save from Martinez, really well struck by Magnès, Akli Ushu, couldn't have hit this any sweeter.
02:05and Martinez athletically springs to his left to make the save, top class shot and the
02:29Martinez athletically springs to his left to make the save.
02:33Top-class shot, equally good save.
02:40Tyrone Minks, Tielemans.
02:44Looking for Rodgers, very nearly picking him out.
02:49Just had to adapt there, goalkeeper Majetski.
02:52Did enough.
02:54Camera.
02:56Rodgers.
02:59Tielemans, Gwendija.
03:03And the free kick given, the referee was just allowing Slavko, Vincic of Slovenia.
03:08Asterbill a little bit of advantage.
03:10And then when nothing really opened up for the away side, he brought it back for the foul.
03:15That was the earlier intervention from Majetski.
03:18Had to react quickly here, the goalkeeper.
03:21I think it will be Dina.
03:23It is.
03:24And it's a comfortable save in the end for Majetski.
03:27Just didn't get enough whip on that.
03:30Dina could see what he was trying to do.
03:36Foul by Konza.
03:41Never really got the whip or the tower to trouble the goalkeeper.
03:45Space opening up now for Buendia.
03:52And Bailey.
03:56Denied by the upstretched right arm of Majetski.
04:01Asterbillis' first big opportunity.
04:04Falls for Leon Bailey.
04:06Pass from Buendia here.
04:08Watkins was trying to take it on himself initially, but it fell nicely for Bailey.
04:12Couldn't get it out of the reach of Majetski.
04:15Only a corner.
04:17We shouldn't have been allowed to get onto that.
04:19And Watkins.
04:20Great save.
04:22And Ollie Watkins should see good stomp from Majetski.
04:26I think Monaco defenders just froze for a second or two there.
04:30Good hold of play there by Minamino.
04:39Falls through him again.
04:40And they're in here, Monaco.
04:42Big miss.
04:43Right on the stroke of half-time.
04:46Akriyush puffs his cheeks out.
04:49What an opportunity.
04:51There have been chances at either end.
04:53But the only one that's been taken so far fell for Monaco and Wilfred Singo in just the eighth minute.
05:01But it could have been 2-0 here.
05:09Today this has worked nicely.
05:11Watkins.
05:13Good looking pass.
05:16And driven wide by Rodgers.
05:17Just trying to caress the outside of his right boot into this effort.
05:23Morgan Rodgers.
05:25It's a good pass.
05:26And a good incursion from Watkins.
05:29Although having said that, it had a little bit of bend on it.
05:32Goalkeep was beaten and it crept inside the post.
05:36Nice hold of play from Mbolo.
05:38Into space comes Van der Seun.
05:40And they're tapping.
05:42But he's offside.
05:44It's well finished by Akriyush.
05:47And the assistant referee's flag up very quickly.
05:50Nice move from Monaco though.
05:53How much was in this decision?
05:55The flag went up very quickly.
05:56Van der Seun's pass in to Akriyush.
05:59Yeah, offside.
06:00Good call.
06:02Camera.
06:03Finding Watkins.
06:06And in goes Cash.
06:08Oh, another good chance.
06:10Falling for the right back this time.
06:12Well up in open play.
06:14Mati Cash.
06:14Trying to whip it into the far corner.
06:17And gets too much on it.
06:19Lovely pass.
06:20Onside.
06:21Can't take the opportunity.
06:23Monaco kept them at bay.
06:26Pretty comfortably in the last quarter of an hour or so.
06:30And that's it.
06:31It's a huge win for Monaco.
06:34They'll celebrate and know that they're traveling further in the Champions League this season.
06:39Up to 13 points.
06:41They draw level with their opponents now.
06:43Aston Villa.
06:44But both surely will be advancing further.
06:49And both will have an opportunity and a crack at the top eight.
06:52One suspects.
06:54Depends how the other results go on match day seven.
06:57But it's celebrations all round for the Monagasks.
07:00Monaco won.
