00:00And now the game is just about to begin for a new season here for Ace Monaco, completely live on
00:05V-Sports.
00:13Arve at home to Monaco.
00:16Monaco cannot now look back to lost opportunities.
00:20They know the standard has been set elsewhere even on this opening weekend.
00:24The feeling it must have been to be told that a Ligue 1 club wanted him at the age of
00:2835.
00:33Free kick taken by Kamara, not entirely to safety, Udumbo fancied his chances from distance for Monaco.
00:45On by Kulevali to Vandersen, almost becoming one of the senior statesmen along with the man in possession here, Golovine
00:52at this stage, Vandersen.
00:59And Vandersen again, had a little look for his centre-forward there, Brunner was on the move.
01:03Laav did well to shut them down, but they're starting to press higher and higher here, Monaco.
01:08Kamara kept it going.
01:10Udumbo.
01:15And a bit tame, really, the outcome on the end of it, but of course we've seen this so many,
01:21many times by Laav.
01:22They will not panic.
01:26Playing within themselves, playing to the structure that Degas puts in place.
01:34Kamara.
01:40A bit more patience required, I think, for Monaco.
01:50Was not a man for man.
01:56Goal, great start for Monaco from the corner.
02:00Eric Dier pops up, he's scored in his fixture for the second year in a row.
02:10Monaco have had all the play so far.
02:13They've moved the ball around well, but their first goal comes from their first set-piece.
02:19That will hurt Laav very badly indeed.
02:23They've been defending well in open play, but undone.
02:28It's a great header on the target by Dier.
02:31He made his move like a striker there.
02:34Maybe learning something from Harry Kane all those years ago.
02:37There was a deflection on it, but he was the first mover, and he got.
02:41Udumbo sticking fairly rigidly to that left side for Monaco.
02:52Oh, it's a present for Brunner.
02:53Can he make it too?
02:54Brilliant piece of work by Mpasi.
02:56Golovine.
02:57Even better from the goalkeeper this time.
03:01Well, what a way to repay your coach's faith.
03:09Set goes header.
03:10Not clear.
03:10Golovine.
03:11It bounced for him to hit it, but he didn't want to.
03:15That's easy pickings for Mpasi.
03:17And Mpasi was already look ball.
03:18Nothing really on, and I must say, not exactly a quick break.
03:25And maybe in again now.
03:26Here's Koulibaly.
03:27He got the ball stuck, but it's still on.
03:30Golovine.
03:32Udumbo coming in.
03:33Oh, had time to take that down.
03:40Nazinho crossing.
03:42Looking for Brunner.
03:42And passes there again.
03:44Hardly had a touch of it, Samata, but here he is.
03:49Had a little look at the picture there.
03:51Did well.
03:52Do you think it can't play?
03:56Decoro wanted it.
03:57George.
03:57Go for Richardson.
04:00And second time.
04:02Richardson makes his mark.
04:05And La Havre make their mark and level it against Monaco.
04:12The Avenue and welcome back.
04:17I must say, he looks rather emotional about it all.
04:20He's got to hope that he's onside.
04:22He's onside here.
04:23Amazing first header and a brilliant save by Rudetsky.
04:27Second time.
04:28He stayed alive.
04:30Just stayed in the center of the goal mouth.
04:33When it was rescued on the line, he was all alone because Monaco's defenders were all watching
04:38the ball and probably thinking, what a great save their goalkeeper had made.
04:53And now we have sound.
04:57And now we have sound.
05:10But he keeps on going.
05:13And so does Rasul Ndiye.
05:15Cross comes in.
05:16It's a beauty.
05:17Richardson can he backpedal?
05:18He's done enough to control it.
05:20It's a great ball in that from the left side by Zawawi.
05:28Good looking ball again.
05:33Just dropped the other side of Mwanga.
05:35But he kept going.
05:37Still in play.
05:38That's what the Laos fans want to see here today.
05:43Rasul lays it off to Mwanga.
05:45He crosses.
05:47Deflected.
05:48Dier didn't clear it.
05:49Rasul.
05:53He's Golovine.
05:57Koulibaly with space.
05:58Keeps it moving nicely to Vanderson.
06:01And Monaco get nothing for a pretty well orchestrated phase.
06:07This is the kind of pass and move we saw from him in the first minutes.
06:14I think if that had gone to Brunner and if Brunner put it in the net, there may have
06:18been a long VAR.
06:20Over that, that look.
06:21Richardson has shown his aerial prowess already.
06:25That's to Sasso.
06:27And Radetsky takes charge of it for Monaco.
06:30And that is the last action of this first half.
06:33Felipe Luis and Monaco in front through.
06:36A lot of fancy here to see the second half.
06:39Starting right now.
06:51Eric Dier has put Monaco in front on this opening match day of Liga 26-27.
06:59Nazinho to Golovine.
07:02Lava sitting deep and they're not allowing themselves to be opened up easily.
07:08But Zakaria collided in Brunner.
07:10Combined brilliantly with Brunner.
07:12It was offside.
07:13It wouldn't have counted.
07:14It's a B.
07:16Zakaria made the little run.
07:17And quite honestly, Brunner should probably do a lot better than that.
07:20Half's point of view.
07:24Passy doesn't get that right.
07:26Good header by Sané.
07:28Edombo.
07:29Carried it well.
07:30I thought he struck that rather well, to be honest with you.
07:33And it's a bit unlucky.
07:33I think it came off the back.
07:35Yeah?
07:36Brunner.
07:38It did.
07:49Brunner missed it.
07:51Great block by Banderson.
07:59Brunner looks to be struggling a little bit.
08:01And he doesn't stop that cross either.
08:02Here come Lava.
08:04It's bouncing around.
08:06Will it bounce in?
08:07It did everything but bounce in.
08:09And Monaco get away.
08:10It's Kistate.
08:13That gets the crowd going at last here for Lava.
08:18Rasul reversed it in there.
08:20Goal a game, just about.
08:2232 appearances last season.
08:25Two Ligue 1 goals.
08:30Maybe now something.
08:33And it's Impassi to the rescue again.
08:36And that would have been a very big first.
08:42Golovine with a very clever reverse to him.
08:45Lovely step over there.
08:47Just a roll of the ball under the boot.
08:49From Subier.
08:54And Impassi.
08:56And Rasul again.
09:01Brudetsky's come for it.
09:03Got a piece of it.
09:04Subier didn't clear it.
09:05Richardson.
09:07Wouldn't go for him again.
09:08So Rasul again.
09:14Mostly Monaco have defended them pretty well today.
09:19And do again with Dier this time.
09:22Helped out by the referee's whistle.
09:27Feel of it now.
09:27But it's still Golovine here in Tabir.
09:29They've combined very well once or twice.
09:31They know each other as a pair.
09:32Better than Golovine and Bruner, of course.
09:35Zakaria.
09:37Smartly onto it on the edge of the box.
09:40Threatened to get into.
09:42Five in the wall.
09:45Golovine.
09:46Around them.
09:47And it's tipped over the top by Impassi.
09:51Fine.
09:52Fine showing it has been from Impassi in this game.
09:57And he denies Monaco again.
10:11Rasul.
10:12Oh, he needed to call Radetzky out.
10:13Radetzky recovered just in the nick of time.
10:17Now there's a big collision there.
10:18Read that very well indeed.
10:20Zakaria can't go for that.
10:22Pulls up quite sharply there.
10:24Bit of tiredness affecting him perhaps.
10:26And it drops behind him there again.
10:28Very nice layoff by Major.
10:30And here come Lave.
10:32Radetzky at full stretch.
10:36I'd made the angle bigger for himself.
10:39But did he really have the conviction?
10:41I'm not sure he did.
10:43Cannot afford to give the ball away here now.
10:46Nakamura.
10:48Yenet.
10:49Crossing it.
10:50Giving his forwards a chance to see it on its way.
10:53Monaco have given it away.
10:55Oh, what a story that would have been.
10:57Mizuto over the top.
10:59A couple of minutes.
11:03Brave enough to have a go here.
11:04And he struck it well enough.
11:13They just haven't really tested Radetzky near enough today, Lave.
11:22And that's all they're going to get.
11:24And Monaco, who had to work very hard for this, start with a Liga victory.
11:34That's a perfect start without doubt for Monaco with a 1-0 win today.
11:43And that's all they're going to get.
11:44And that's all they're going to get.
11:46And that's all they're going to get.
11:46And that's all they're going to get.
11:46And that's all they're going to get.
11:47And that's all they're going to get.
11:48And that's all they're going to get.
11:49And that's all they're going to get.
11:50And that's all they're going to get.
11:50And that's all they're going to get.
