DIRECT. Monaco-PSG: dominant and well launched by Désiré Doué, Paris is in front (0-1)

Shifted to the right of the area, Akliouche attempts a curling shot. Safonov catches it without difficulty.

The second half kicks off.

Mr. Letexier sends the 22 players back to the locker room, with a score of 1 to 0 for PSG. Dominating against defensively feverish Monegasques, the Parisians opened the scoring thanks to a goal from Désiré Doué, who had been in full swing for two weeks. Black point of the first period for the Ile-de-France residents: Gianluigi Donnaruma came out injured following huge contact with Wilfried Singo.

Found on the right of the area, Dembélé tries his luck in force. Köhn pushes back on his line again.

Present at the reception of a ball messed up in the air, Embolo attempts an acrobatic return but misses his gesture. The counter is launched by Paris with Barcola. Singo makes a saving tackle.

Dembélé hits the corner and finds Marquinhos’ head. This is captured by Köhn.

Nice movement between Doué and Hakimi on the right side. The Moroccan gets the corner.

There will be six minutes of added time.

On the next corner, played with two players, Doué moves back into the axis and places a returning cross. Salisu deflects the ball and almost deceives Köhn, author of a superb reflex save.

Barcola eliminates Singo on the left of the area but the defender comes back well. The leather is recovered by Hakimi, who follows up with a heavy strike. Köhn deflects for a corner.

Paris has backed down and leaves the ball to Monaco. Once again, technical waste penalizes the residents of Louis-II, like the failed transmission from Magassa.

The pace has dropped since Désiré Doué opened the score. Monaco tries to move forward, but it lacks technical precision.

Off-center at the entrance to the area on the left, Ben Seghir takes charge of a well-placed free kick. This is countered by the wall.

Barcola inherits the ball on the left of the area but his deflected cross is captured by Köhn.

Once again found behind at the entrance to the area, Doué takes his chance in force. This is countered by the opposing defense.

Vitinha is dried by Camara in a Monegasque pressing sequence. The ASM community has been warned.

Doué once again rushes full axis and overtakes the Monegasque defense. Fortunately for the locals, the scorer gets confused and Kehrer comes back well.

PSG opens the scoring! Once again, Hakimi is found behind the defense and overflows onto his right flank. The Moroccan enters the area and decides to cross back towards Doué, who takes the flat foot with first intention and finds the net!

In the end, no sanction was reported against Singo, who had already been warned. The decision of the refereeing body seems incomprehensible as the Ivorian’s gesture was so dangerous.

With a huge wound on his cheek, Donnarumma is forced to give up his place. Safonov comes into play.

Donnarumma remains on the ground and receives treatment. The action will be reviewed by the VAR.

Found alone on the right side, Singo goes behind the Parisian defense and presents himself in front of Donnarumma. The goalkeeper goes out to his feet and diverts the ball before remaining on the ground, stunned by the contact with Singo. The Ivorian poorly controlled the end of his movement, putting his foot in the head of the last rampart.

The free kick struck by Dembélé at the edge of the area on the left side was poorly repelled by the Monegasque defense. Ruiz followed up with a heavy strike, again countered by the ASM rearguard.

The Parisians have their foot on the ball and rotate with a lot of rhythm in the opposing camp. The gap is created and forces Singo to commit the foul on Doué on the left. The Ivorian is warned.

Embolo tries his luck again on the right side of the area. It’s completely unscrewed.

Hit by Dembélé, the corner leads to a header from Neves at the near post. Vanderson diverts his line as the ball flies towards the goal!

Paris obtains the first corner of the game after a cross from Ruiz blocked on the left.

Ben Seghir takes advantage of Embolo’s good deflection and throws himself at full speed into the opposing camp. His heavy, floating strike is difficult to deflect by Donnarumma.

Neves makes a magnificent opening for Barcola, who overtakes Singo on the left. He then tries to adjust Köhn closely but the goalkeeper intervenes.

Hakimi overflows to the right of the area and attempts a tricky cross-shot for Köhn. The leather dies on the post before coming out. Monaco was hot!

Found on the right of the area, Embolo tries his luck but the Swiss striker loses his support, slips and shoots over.

Paris Saint-Germain kicks off the match!

The 22 actors make their entrance onto the lawn of the Stade Louis-II!

The referee of the match will be Mr. François Letexier.

A child of Stade Rennais, where he took his first license in 2011 before doing all his training there and being launched professionally, Désiré Doué is coming out of a successful week with PSG (scorer against Salzburg, decisive passer against Lyon). His former trainers remember his first steps.

Gianluigi Donnarumma and the Parisians are currently warming up on the Louis-II lawn.

As a reminder, PSG enters this Ligue 1 clash at the top of the standings, seven points ahead of their Marseille and Monegasque rivals, who both have 30 points on the clock.

Already back on deck this Wednesday evening, the Parisians remain on a success (3-1) won at home against Lyon thanks to goals from Ousmane Dembélé, Vitinha and Gonçalo Ramos.

Luis Enrique makes three changes to his eleven compared to the victorious team against Lyon on Sunday. Marquinhos finds his place in central defense, while Zaire-Emery moves back to the left to replace Nuno Mendes. Bradley Barcola numerically replaces Lee Kang-in and will lead the attack alongside Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé.

Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (cap), Pacho, Zaïre-Emery – F.Ruiz, Vitinha, Joao Neves – Doué, Dembélé, Barcola

Here is the eleven aligned by Adi Hütter to challenge PSG. Uncertain before the match, captain Denis Zakaria handed over his armband to former Parisian Thilo Kehrer. Breel Embolo starts at the forefront of the attack.

Köhn – Singo, Kehrer (cap), Salisu, Vanderson – Magassa, Camara – Akliouche, Golovin, Ben Seghir – Embolo

The two French internationals are the only ones absent from Paris for the last Ligue 1 match of the calendar year. Already left out of the group against Lyon on Sunday, Randal Kolo Muani was not reinstated by Luis Enrique. For his part, Presnel Kimpembe will wait to honor his first cap of the season.

Before the winter break, PSG can offer themselves a first Christmas present. Luis Enrique’s men, who have seven points more than their Monegasque rival, have the opportunity to take a ten-unit lead in the event of a victory this evening and almost certainly remove the princely club from the title race.

Welcome to this live commentary dedicated to the advanced match of the 16th day between Monaco and PSG. Kick-off at 9 p.m. at Stade Louis-II!

• Paris Saint-Germain travels to Monaco to challenge ASM this Wednesday (9 p.m.), in an advanced match counting for the 16th day of Ligue 1.
• Large leader in the championship, PSG has the opportunity to take an almost definitive lead over the Rocher club, currently 3rd seven lengths behind the Ile-de-France residents.
• But Monaco is an opponent that Paris has always struggled to tame on the road. The capital club has lost three of its last four matches in the Principality.
• For this meeting, Luis Enrique chose to once again leave Randal Kolo Muani and Presnel Kimpembe outside the group.
