00:00Monaco are looking to keep a pace with PSG at the top of the standings and they start as the big favorites against them on Pellier side, struggling down in the bottom three.
00:13Monaco in their brand new centenary shirts then kicking from right to left in this first half.
00:22Very good crowd in at the Stade Louis-Dieu. Yes, it's fair to say that's not always the case here. The capacity is 18,000.
00:30They don't usually get too near that mark. It's Montpellier looking to make inroads early on. The cross is a searching one. Chance for Kounibaly here. He tees it up.
00:42Good ball from Akhliouche. This is Balogun. Three against two for Monaco. Balogun crosses for Mbolo, who should really have scored.
00:54Mbolo and Balogun, clipped in by Kaio Enrique and surely. Incredibly Monaco haven't scored.
01:02Champions League fixtures coming thick and fast now. This is Adams and a chance for Montpellier and a goal for Montpellier.
01:12Brilliantly finished by Nzingura.
01:20Well, a shock perhaps on the cards here at the Stade Louis-Dieu as the visitors go ahead with a brilliantly taken goal by Rabih Nzingura.
01:33The layoff from Akor Adams was excellent. Still so much to do for Nzingura.
01:43Arnaud Norda, Akor Adams and the teenage midfielder combining to deadly effect here.
01:51Frail at the back. Here's Kounibaly again. Kounibaly for Adams. It's a good save from Kern and then off the line.
02:12Mohamed Salihsou with a vital stop there.
02:22Nzingura fighting for possession. Sakho comes back now. Khalil Fayyad to Golovin for Monaco.
02:32Looking for Balogun. Chance for Mbolo and Balogun. It's another missed opportunity for Monaco.
02:40A dressing room and behind the scenes and suggestions that Dezakarian could be vulnerable.
02:45But he looks to be turning things around. This is Mbolo. This is Balogun.
02:49Following Balogun. This time he makes no mistake and Balogun gets Monaco level.
03:02A very cool clinical finish from the American international.
03:07That's his second goal in the space of a week.
03:10Real Mbolo paired alongside Balogun in attack tonight.
03:15And it was the Swiss who picked out the American.
03:19Balogun steering the ball beyond Berthe with his left foot.
03:25Monaco won. Montpellier won.
03:37Check over.
03:42It's been the revelation of the first half. Rabih Nzingura.
03:49Quick goal by Montpellier. Put him ahead.
03:52A minute 16 for Balogun. Responding at minute 32.
03:56To get the 1-0 that we have after 45 minutes of football.
04:01We're going to take a short break here on BSports.
04:03We're going to come back with the highlights from the first half.
04:08So Monaco have 45 minutes to try to complete.
04:11So they come back here against Montpellier.
04:15They need three points if they're to level with PSG at the top.
04:24Montpellier taking it.
04:26Benzeguirre.
04:29Good ball from Benzeguirre. Balogun!
04:31Off the post.
04:34Zakaria now. Golovin.
04:38Cahill-Henrique.
04:42So close for Monaco. This is Golovin.
04:46He chips it. This is Mbolo. A Cluj.
04:52He just couldn't get the ball where he wanted it.
04:57Salesu looking for Golovin. Takes it nicely.
05:02All across. It was almost a good one.
05:08Tese.
05:11Kamara. Zakaria.
05:14They're trying to go right through the middle.
05:17This is Golovin. He's gone down. No penalty.
05:21Well, the referee was very well positioned. No foul on Golovin.
05:25And it's Koulibaly at the other end.
05:28Tongui Koulibaly. He goes down. He'll get a free kick.
05:34Savaniye. Oh, it's off the post.
05:38It's a brilliant free kick.
05:40Well, there were question marks earlier this season
05:43as to whether Montpellier were really invested.
05:45Whether they were playing for their coach, Deszakaria.
05:47And they are fighting so hard tonight.
05:49Tese for Monaco.
05:52Wilfried Tongo overrunning it.
05:54No foul.
05:56Singo.
05:57Golovin.
05:59Wanterer in space here.
06:02Wanterer's cross is deflected and Montpellier can whack it as far as possible.
06:06Now, Deszak.
06:08Into the box.
06:09Cuts it across.
06:11Wanterer and it's saved.
06:14Saved by Berthod.
06:15And it doesn't look like it's going to be Monaco's night.
06:19Zakaria.
06:23Or the lay-off.
06:24And the long shot!
06:26And it's in.
06:28And it's in.
06:30And it's in.
06:32And it's in.
06:33And it's in.
06:34Or the lay-off.
06:35And the long shot!
06:36It's got in!
06:39Unbelievable, Monaco.
06:42With just seconds left in added time.
06:44Have stolen the points.
06:51A brilliant long shot.
06:53From Lamine Camara.
06:57In off the post.
06:58It is...
07:00For all formalities of existence, the party can now begin in earnest.
07:05It is a wonderful shot from the Senegalese midfielder.
07:09Lamine Camara, who's looked so good since he's come on.
07:15It was always going to take something special to beat Dimitri Berthod.
07:30Look at the scenes here.
07:33It is tough on Montpellier, who was so close to that finishing line.
07:38But the 10 men, it seems, have succumbed.
07:44They haven't even got time to punt it forward.
07:47The final whistle blows.
07:51And in the dying minutes of the game, Monaco gets the three points and will stay
07:56Tied with PSG atop the standings in Ligue 1.
07:59Tomorrow we'll see what Olympique Marseille can do to stay with them.
08:04Something was taken out of Monaco and Barcelona in the Champions League game last week.
08:10Barcelona just lost against Osasuna in El Zavala.
08:14Monaco with problems, with issues.
08:17We're getting the three points in the dying gasps of the game.
08:20Thank you for joining us here on BX Sports.
08:25See you next time.
