00:00Back from the break, I love three to Hesse and two to Toulouse last week.
00:12First six teams go to European football.
00:15Nice sits in six with 47 points.
00:18Over the decades, Monaco get us underway.
00:23I guess the big plus for Monaco is the certainty that Marseille, who can be so exciting going forward, have proven themselves to be very defensively vulnerable.
00:37A simple, straightforward read of the Ligue 1 table this morning suggests that Monaco's need is even greater for all three points today.
00:44Nice link up between Roe and Greenwood.
00:47Now to the other side it comes, Berlus Enrique, it's a driving run, but the angle too narrow.
00:56Move confidently onto the ball though.
00:59Ferdinandu's pass by Greenwood.
01:03And he had Caron Enrique on the back foot all the way.
01:11Now it falls for Biret.
01:13Mika Biret stayed on his feet.
01:16Roe denies it twice.
01:18The ball is still alive.
01:19Zikaria, it's turned in.
01:21They've gone in front through Minamino, Monaco.
01:27The breakthrough comes just past the half hour mark.
01:32Until now, a lucky deflection perhaps for Biret.
01:36He hesitated rather than shoot.
01:38Roe blocked it once, blocked it twice, but Marseille couldn't clear it.
01:42And it came for Minamino to complete the task.
01:48And Bolo was strong enough.
01:51Lucky bounce of the ball, maybe once, maybe twice.
01:54But once, twice and three times, Marseille had the chance to clear it and didn't take any of them.
02:03Eventually, Minamino for Monaco.
02:06Not that they've been brilliant, you understand.
02:15But when a chance...
02:17And the game goes on and Merlin caught up with the ball.
02:19Garcia from the back.
02:22Brilliant.
02:23And somehow, Luis Enrique couldn't finish it off.
02:28Mila.
02:29Great run from Garcia.
02:32And there must have been something...
02:33And he got reward.
02:35And now, here come Monaco again.
02:40Roe gets down.
02:40...of their supporters.
02:43Halftime.
02:45Monaco edged their way in front.
02:48Minamino with the opportunistic finish.
02:52That is halftime.
02:53The mistake by Geronimo Rulli and Minamino.
02:55With a great finish in play,
02:58they have Monaco up 1-0 after 45 minutes of play.
03:03For the U.S.
03:04Marsega is going in the second half.
03:16Normally, very good record here.
03:20In jeopardy at halftime.
03:22But it's a...
03:25Defensive.
03:27Oh, it's a great header on the target.
03:29And that is really getting across his line again brilliantly.
03:34Certainly, it seemed goal-bound.
03:38Singo with the header.
03:41Minamino thought it was...
03:42Kamara again.
03:44I think she's leaving him to it.
03:47Outswinger.
03:47It's a good one.
03:48And it's straight at Roe again.
03:50The misplaced release of the ball didn't count for anything.
03:54Marse.
03:54He's giving it straight to Heuberg.
03:56And here comes Mason Greenwood.
03:59Mason Greenwood into the box.
04:02Stayed on his feet.
04:03And Kuhn again intervenes.
04:08Looking for that cutting edge today.
04:11Who better than Mason Greenwood?
04:12Surely to provide it.
04:1416 Ligue 1 goals.
04:16But that's good work by Kuhn.
04:17Luis Enrique, Rabiel, crossed it.
04:32Roe went for it.
04:33Appeals from Marseille.
04:35Raved away by Bastia.
04:36Reaches Greenwood.
04:38Sense that really was the busier goalkeeper for a lot of this game today.
04:41But he's been there when needed for Monaco.
04:44Has Philip Kuhn.
04:44But it's anybody's guess who's going to prevail today.
04:55That's a giveaway by Marseille.
04:56Akliouche.
04:59Brilliant save by Rulli.
05:02Chances coming beside it.
05:05Says to his teammates.
05:06We cannot keep on getting away with these.
05:08Akliouche.
05:10Brilliant, brilliant work by Rulli.
05:12It was on the target from Akliouche.
05:14What a piece of work crafting it and very nearly finishing it.
05:24Akliouche again, the youngster.
05:27Not quite.
05:28But he kept on going and it very nearly dropped for Minamino.
05:31It does for Kuhn.
05:32Enrique.
05:34Akliouche again.
05:36Extends a leg.
05:37Gets the ball down under control.
05:38He is an absolute wizard, this young man.
05:41Van Dersen and Bolo.
05:45Yes!
05:47How brilliantly finished it.
05:50Monaco go two up.
05:53They have been...
05:56They most certainly have given Marseille a huge amount to do.
06:01Ruiz made three saves in this second half, but he cannot stop this one.
06:11Brilliant save again by Kuhn.
06:24Rulli under a bit of pressure again.
06:28Still under a bit of pressure.
06:31Penalty.
06:32The Marseille backline is disintegrating of trouble to try to sort it out.
06:41And Bolo has bossed this backline around all through this game.
06:46Look at Rulli.
06:47Panic stations everywhere.
06:51Benway Bastia probably had about three penalty calls he could have picked upon here.
06:56But that one, perhaps the decisive one.
07:00And maybe the decisive moment in this match now.
07:08Can Rulli keep Marseille hopes alive.
07:12Zakaria.
07:143-0.
07:16Surely three points.
07:18On the way now for Monaco.
07:19They've cut free in this second half.
07:26And they've torn Marseille asunder.
07:30Big days in the season.
07:32They are capitulating here now.
07:37Thundered into the net.
07:38From the penalty spot.
07:40By Zakaria.
07:45The powerhouse midfield player.
07:48Powers home the penalty.
07:49It's all over.
07:57Monaco claim a major victory.
07:59Marseille stumble again.
