00:00With 56% for Monaco and 54% for Le Havre, they're the two teams with the highest percentages of duels won in league on this season.
00:13It's time for Liga in Stade Louis II.
00:16Monaco could join Paris Saint-Germain on 13 points at the top with a win.
00:20It's Le Havre trying to stop them and if they beat Thursday's Champions League heroes.
00:26Considering all of them, or all of their opponents in those three games, finished in the top four last season.
00:36Nonetheless, they're on the attack here.
00:38And it was this time a last-ditch tackle from Thilo Coeren.
00:42By example, it's won back though by Loic Nego on the right.
00:46It's cross, not good enough and Monaco can break themselves.
00:51Fast pace now, five minutes on the clock.
00:54Still Golovin, all the way, deflection.
01:02The latter of which is closed down.
01:05Aruna Songonte very quickly.
01:07Minamino into the box, it's gonna break for Balagan.
01:09His shot deflected, Minamino stops it, plays it across the line.
01:13And it's put in by Jordan Tezic.
01:18Flag stays down.
01:21And it looks like Monaco break the deadlock with barely five minutes on the clock.
01:31A little fortune in the build-up but Adey Huta won't mind.
01:38It was pressing from Flo Balagan that won his side of the ball, played forwards by Golovin.
01:45Minamino initially stopped the deflected shot through to the Japanese
01:49who just put it back across goal in hope that someone would arrive in red and white.
01:54And someone did in the shape of Jordan Tezic.
02:02Couldn't believe his luck, couldn't miss his first goal for his new club in his fourth appearance.
02:16It will be Enrique to take it again.
02:21It's gonna break all the way through to Balagan at the back post.
02:24He works space for the shot.
02:26Sees that shot deflected this time.
02:28So moved on towards there.
02:30Now Loawe.
02:32Defending again here.
02:34Flamming camera.
02:36Whipping it in.
02:38Towards George Eleni Keina.
02:40Switch over to Koyo Enrique on the left-hand side.
02:45There's Loic Nigo for company.
02:47Gives it back to Golovin.
02:49Who's over 30.
02:52Two goals, one assist.
02:55Alperi delivers it in.
02:57Finds the head of Lloris.
02:59He's kept alive and the shot finds the bottom corner.
03:02Dalia Kuzyaev levels things up.
03:07Somewhat against the run of play.
03:10But Loawe have their goal.
03:14And Monaco have to start again.
03:19If they are to take all three points away this afternoon.
03:27Looks fairly harmless but just opened up for the Russian.
03:33He took the shot with the outside of his boot.
03:37Curled away from Philip Kern.
03:41Kuzyaev with his first of the season.
03:46Just needs to cover the goal or try and get to the cross.
03:50It is the latter.
03:52Up in the air.
03:54Who's going to win the aerial battle?
03:56It was Eleni Keina but it was headed on through.
03:58One final chance of this first half.
04:02No is the answer to that question.
04:05Stephanie Frappart blows for half-time.
04:09Entertaining first half.
04:11The early goal by Monaco giving them a little advantage.
04:19Change of shape.
04:21As we get back under way for the second 45.
04:25That almost looked like at first some of the Monaco players
04:29thought they had been denied an advantage.
04:32In truth having seen the replay.
04:36Kuzyaev by themselves in on goal.
04:392-1 to the good.
04:42The flag stays down.
04:44And Josue Kasimir.
04:46Double change from Adi Huta.
04:49Watch is on.
04:51Might be one for VAR to look at.
04:54Tight on the offside line.
04:56That was a glimpse in that direction from Kasimir.
05:00Perfectly dispatched shot though.
05:03Once he found himself through on goal.
05:07Philip Kern rushing out.
05:11Kasimir celebrating his first of the season.
05:17His first of the last two seasons.
05:19Didn't score.
05:22Rules out the goal.
05:28Well.
05:29Now twice then.
05:34Via VAR.
05:35And now Can Monaco.
05:37Fully take advantage.
05:39Centimetres within.
05:41Having done so.
05:43Delivers a corner.
05:45The way through to the far side.
05:48Balogun shot blocks.
05:53Another break away for Kasimir.
05:55Who's going to get there ahead of Philip Kern.
05:57There's no goalkeeper.
05:59But there is a defender.
06:01Tagelin and Kasimir.
06:03And back to Tagelin again.
06:05It's nicked away from him though.
06:09Ben Segeer cuts inside.
06:10Gets the shot away.
06:13And Monaco have their lead again.
06:18Elias Ben Segeer.
06:19The super sub.
06:22Who makes it 2-1.
06:25With a little over a quarter of the match to play.
06:32His total from last campaign.
06:35All stemmed from that moment.
06:38Nicked away.
06:39By Wilfrid Singo.
06:41Centre back.
06:43Well up the pitch.
06:45Finding Ben Segeer.
06:48Cut.
06:49Back inside.
06:50The Loire captain.
06:52Bent it beyond his mass.
06:54Into the far corner.
07:02An important addition I think.
07:04Steadying presence.
07:06In the centre of the park.
07:10Being optimistic.
07:12Attempted goal from Tila Correa there.
07:14For the rest of the 22-23 season.
07:21Monaco make it 3-1.
07:24Given away in their own half by Loire.
07:27And punished.
07:32Trying to play up from the back.
07:34Caught in possession.
07:36The perfect ball.
07:38Through to Balligan.
07:43And in particular,
07:45complaining I think about
07:47the way in which the ball was won.
07:49But looks legitimate from Zakaria.
07:55And a clinical finish from Flo Bale.
07:59And a clinical finish from Flo Bale.
08:0125 touches and 5 shots finally.
08:03Gets his goal.
08:05First for Monaco centre forward this season.
08:07Operi.
08:09Scored.
08:11At the back post.
08:13Operating.
08:15A full back.
08:17For the final 10.
08:19That was chested by Zakaria.
08:21By surprise it would appear.
08:23Sumari lays it up on the edge.
08:25The shot from NDI was blocked by his own man.
08:28They have changed the game.
08:30Substitutions.
08:32And they see out.
08:34Their two goal lead.
08:36To the end.
08:38Easy enough.
08:46Cuts inside.
08:48Gets it back.
08:50Going to break on the edge of the area.
08:52Doesn't make it.
08:54On the halfway line.
08:56Nego.
08:58His cross drops.
09:00For Ngura.
09:02His cross.
09:044-2-4.
09:06This new formation.
09:08But it is leaving them exposed.
09:10At the back.
09:12Monaco.
09:14Put the icing on the cake.
09:16Ben Sagir.
09:18Tried to do so.
09:20There the final whistle.
09:22Job long since done.
