  • 0' And we are off! AS Monaco FC vs AS Saint-Etienne — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Takumi Minamino made 222 appearances and scored 35 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ben Old suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' AS Monaco FC are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against AS Saint-Etienne's 4-1-4-1 shape.
  • 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 25' Lamine Fomba has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 28' Against the run of play, Takumi Minamino has scored! This game has turned on its head.

  • 48' AS Monaco FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 53' Both keepers have barely been tested. AS Monaco FC and AS Saint-Etienne are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 58' AS Monaco FC is showing some good football. However, AS Monaco FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 67' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Marwann N'Zuzi.
