00:04 We are now under way.
00:07 That's Dadlouis too, that's Monaco.
00:10 Host Rennes.
00:12 Visitors will kick things off as they look to inflict a bit of revenge on Monaco,
00:18 who won at Roussillon Park.
00:21 Monaco win it back, Golovin.
00:24 Liza Minamino, nicely cut back.
00:26 Youssef Fofana's there.
00:28 That is a huge chance for the French international.
00:34 Questions of offside perhaps against Minamino,
00:37 but no questions about the ball, a terrific one.
00:40 Through the legs of Arthur Thiet and Fofana just had to finish.
00:44 It blazes over.
00:46 Rennes will be relieved.
00:53 Kyle Henrik now, left-back back, training with the first team.
00:59 But not in the squad for this one.
01:01 Alexander Golovin.
01:03 A fine effort from distance.
01:06 Ndonda, usually very dangerous from set-pieces.

01:21 Golovin involved again, it was Thilo Kerrer.
01:24 Denied by the Rennes skipper.
01:27 Sam Ben Yedder just can't direct his head into the back of the net.

01:46 [CHEERING]
01:49 Guiri, play through, Amin Guiri.
02:00 Dangerous, clipped ball looking for Calim Wendzel.
02:04 Adrian Truffaut to whip in.
02:07 It's going to fall here for Martinsen.
02:12 What a stop that is.
02:14 By Radislav Majewski.
02:16 He's taken the gloves from Philippe Cohen.
02:19 And that's why.
02:21 Denying almost a certain goal there.
02:24 As he tips Terry's efforts onto the crossbar.
02:27 Now finds Guiri.
02:34 Had Truffaut on the overlap, opts to go himself.
02:38 Guiri, spilled by Majewski, a good save, the one the follow-up.
02:42 Bourdieu denied this time.
02:45 Bourdieu this time with a poor touch of Monaco.
02:49 Pressing and winning the ball back once more.
02:52 Jakobs with the cutback.
02:53 Magnus Akljus is there.
02:55 Superb finish.
03:00 Superb cross.
03:02 And we have the opener.
03:04 After plenty of chances early on.
03:09 This has been a terrific match, and Monaco have the lead in it.
03:14 It's Magnus Akljus.
03:19 With his seventh league-end goal of the season.
03:23 Both teams are really high-press.
03:31 And this time on the turnover it was...
03:37 Monaco that won it back.
03:39 High up the pitch.
03:41 Fofana, to Minamino, he found Jakobs, a lovely cutback.
03:45 And Akljus doing what Fofana couldn't do earlier.
03:49 The ball nestles into the back of the nets.
03:53 Slight deflection off Tejats.
03:55 But a superb finish.
03:57 By Magnus Akljus and Monaco, our one-up.
04:01 Ren also up there.
04:06 Superb bit of skill from Takumi Minamino.
04:09 This is sensational.
04:11 From the Japanese forwards.
04:13 Just couldn't find...
04:15 Van der Sar.
04:17 With the challenge.
04:19 And now Monaco can counter.
04:21 Akljus finding Van der Sar.
04:23 Pineda's in the box, if he can pick him out.
04:25 Wasabineta!
04:27 On the stretch, just couldn't...

04:33 Ami!
04:34 More, more, more.
04:36 More, more, more.
04:38 True fair.

04:40 Spashe Ambudijo with the effort, not far away.

04:45 Nicely done.
04:47 Good use of the body by Amin Gwiri.
04:49 Bursting forward, Amin Gwiri.
04:51 Just couldn't apply the finish.
04:54 Sango picks up, but Stephanie Frappard will.
05:00 And there is the whistle.
05:02 Monaco seeing their efforts rewarded.
05:04 With the only goal of the game so far.
05:07 Akljus at the 25 minute mark.
05:10 It is Monaco hosting Ghan 1-0 at the...
05:15 Leaders at the break.
05:20 1-0 through Magnus Akljus' first half strike.
05:23 On 25 minutes.
05:27 Plenty of action at both ends.
05:30 Nine attempts apiece.
05:32 Taking the sore one.
05:34 Golovkin will take the free kick from distance.

05:47 Wilfred Sango.
05:50 Here come Rennes on the break through Desiree Dewey.
05:56 Ball.
05:57 Lovely.
05:58 For Arnold Kalimwendo.
06:01 It was disguised.
06:02 He gave Kalimwendo the eyes.
06:04 Across well.
06:07 Once again Wilfred Sango to make the block.
06:10 But Rennes looking a little more threatening now.
06:17 Baptiste Santamaria.
06:20 The vital interception there on Minamino.
06:23 Now Ludovic Blas, fresh off the bench.
06:25 He'll try his luck from distance.
06:27 Great stop once again from Majercki and he'll claim.
06:31 Blas.
06:34 Blasting from distance.
06:37 But well claimed.
06:40 In the end from Majercki.
06:43 Makes his seventh save.
06:46 Zakaria.
06:50 Who's stepped in well at centre half with Kerrert.
06:54 Being sent off.
06:58 Truffaut for Desiree Dewey.
07:05 Does brilliantly here Dewey.
07:09 Minamino.
07:13 Fingsing.
07:14 With substitute Wattara.
07:16 His ball in looking.
07:17 For fellow sub Baloghap.
07:20 And Artur Teat just doing enough.
07:22 And Donda eventually getting the ball out of his feet to clear.
07:25 Dewey's ball.
07:27 What a bad one.
07:28 If Anderson was there and then hooked clear.
07:32 By Kripal Diyata.
07:34 The header won by Zakaria.
07:38 Truffaut.
07:41 If Anderson heads away again.
07:43 Brilliant clearance from him.
07:45 The right back so good going forward but he's been
07:48 superb at the back today.
07:50 Maybe one last save to make here.
07:53 Desiree Dewey's over it.
07:54 Angela Fee is short as well.
07:56 But it will be Dewey to take and he gets it all wrong.
08:00 Devastated.
08:05 There is.
08:06 Desiree Dewey.
08:08 Clips one forward looking for yieldery.
08:13 There's Majercki to claim.
