AS MONACO VS PSG | EFOOTBALL 2024

well a very good evening to you wherever you are I do hope that you can join me in appreciating this beautiful evening a night that is absolutely ideal for a game of football the scenes here really are something a beautiful picture under the flood lights traffic and transport ground here not the kindest but regardless of that the fans have found the way of getting here there is a sense of theater and the decibel levels are rising and the match day noise at this place is truly special The Pride the passion it adds to a massive sense of occasion there's the whistle and here we go so Jim who would you identify as the key man in this fixture well Peter the explosive Usman demele is a very interesting player praised by many for his his game-changing qualities his showboating and confidences has won him a lot of admirers and he can be a real Force if he can add consistency sh to suits and that is wildly off Target well that's why we all say indecision is [Applause] [Applause] fer Belling it's pedri Belling and it's Griezmann Griezmann it's Griezmann and the assistant referee has his flag raised for offside [Applause] decent hit goal Monaco well his movement is all based on fine margins and the timing of his run then was ideal the goal scorer for Monaco after 17 minutes is number 17 so we have our breakthrough look he's the one everyone expects to put the ball in the net that's what he's paid to do that's an excellent interception really has the confidence and skill to be able to hold the ball up like that until support arrives a little sooner and just maybe there he overdid it slightly and should have released it because the support was arriving quickly and if you have just joined us still just one goal between them one n the score lovic crossed he gets big and oh he's got that completely wrong another example of how comfortable this team is on the break hakeim patino Z Emme he's looking wide he's had a chance and that would have been some goal I just hope you won't let the failure to score affect him with the ability he has he can reproduce ISU pedri to chelu pedri no he's not getting his way this time now it's aseno now it's [Applause] demele Ru Monaco can certainly afford to see this half out now and reset during the [Applause] break picks out BR and kept out by the most elastic of saves vavich clearly thought he had the beating of the keeper Griezmann plays it short pety with the cross diving header in for the follow up well that wasn't too dissimilar to the previous attempt this is proving to be a very good spell the intensity is great but uh they've got to make it count they've played it short oh he wasn't being taken in by that trickery and now a sudden chance to counter Z [Applause] Emme it's deell and it's halime here so there we are halime both teams head into their respective dressing room and while there was a genuine flow about the game most importantly there has been just one telling moment it is still very tight here the game still up for grabs and the halftime score One n well that certainly pleased the fans and the players are definitely happy with that score line the question is now can they protect it Monaco lead by one goal to nil at halim it's been a good display from them so far a stable start to the game and they are in a goodish place first half is behind us and the score is currently 1 n and the second half gets on the way Monaco carrying a one-goal lead Z Emme marinos pressing high and with purpose and it's marinos and Z Emme out to the right deell nice try but he wasn't buying it they've got to make this nice and quick Petri he's shifting pedri that was superb goalkeeping yeah he was well placed to deal with that the attendance for thisch was I think the manager is pondering his options as to whether to stick or twist Peter in view of of the time remaining he might have a a tough call to make now and it's tempelle Z Emme engages and forces him off the ball now it's Dell marinos did just about enough to come out on top there neither party overly willing to compromise marinos and it's marinos they've switched it over to the other side now it's Cristiano Ronaldo shiao Canelo oh he's not getting any further than that ah that was expansive and incisive the type of move to please any coach Paris sjain really might just end up kicking themselves after that that could well have in it oh he's found some space here oh it's punished to get himself offside substitution for Paris sanjam number 11 marcoo number 29 number 10 d coming on the field number n number 19 number 49 substitutions taking place yeah he's fil him there leading by just one goal and still some defending to do not much time now for anything fresh to happen I think [Applause] pedri and it's Griezmann and it's played forward now it's Cristiano Ronaldo there will be one that's just playing it safe and simple and that's that Monaco have held on they have doggedly sometimes frantically preserved the tightest leads the end of the game Reflections that is a superb win this is one of those games where the result justifies whatever means just look at the the players celebrating with the fans everyone pumped takes me back so just time for me to say thanks to Jim for his wisdom and to wish you all a very good evening
