AS Monaco won a match that was almost lost. The Kovac-Elf was behind with no chance to break, but started an incredible race to catch up.
Former national player Kevin Volland contributed significantly to a botched dress rehearsal of French soccer champion Paris St. Germain for the Champions League duel with Bundesliga club RB Leipzig. German PSG coach Thomas Tuchel’s team conceded their first defeat four days before the Saxons’ guest appearance in the Seine, despite the comeback of their Brazilian superstar Neymar with 2: 3 (2: 0) at AS Monaco, also with two goals from the former Leverkusen Volland Ligue 1 player after eight wins in a row.
PSG without Draxler and Kehrer
Paris, who had traveled without the injured Julian Draxler and Thilo Kehrer, slipped out of the way after the break despite a safe break with two goals from world champion Kylian Mbappé (25 and 37, penalty).
Shortly after Volland’s first goal (52nd), Neymar returned for the first time after several weeks of injury due to a hamstring tear, but Monaco kept going. Once again, Volland (66th) with his second double of the season rewarded former Bayern Munich head coach Niko Kovac with the draw (66th). Cesc Fabregas turned the game around six minutes before the end of the game with a penalty kick after a video test. PSG could not do anything against the Monegasque after the simultaneous red card against Abdou Diallo.
++ Monaco vs Paris: the live ticker ++
90. + 4 Minute: Injury time is over and game over. Monaco converted 0-2 and still won 3-2 against Paris. What an increase in the performance of Kovac’s team in the second half; Thomas Tuchel, on the other hand, should be served. That is all from us and we wish you a pleasant evening. Adele and Skyfall.
90. Minute: Suspension time is up. If it remains at 3-2, Monaco jumps to second place and for Paris it would be the third defeat of the season.
Minutes 82 to 84: PENALTY AND DOOR FOR MONACO. Diallo throws the ball against Volland, who can only be stopped by the former Dortmund with a foul. As he was in the sixteenth, Diallo took a kick and turned red. Surely Fabregas turns this into 3-2.
80. Minute: Great opportunity for Monaco 3-2, but Volland (yes, Vollland again) doesn’t have the ball under control in the six-yard box. That would have been it …
79. Minute: Kean holds back Sarabia, whose shot from 16 meters is no problem for Mannone.
72. Minute: The game is completely open. Will Monaco be able to completely turn around the 2-0 deficit and temporarily jump to second place?
Minute 65: GOAL FOR MONACO. What’s going on here? Diop puts a ball so wonderfully in the Paris 16 behind the defensive chain, that FC Barcelona is already approaching the listener and wants to sign him. He finds the former Barça star Fabregas, who passes Navas over Volland, who only has to push to score his second goal.
60. Minute: Monaco is absolutely at stake here. Thomas Tuchel reacts and brings the superstar Neymar for Angel di Maria, who made a great performance.
Minute 52: GOAL FOR MONACO. Now the German gives his blow. Fofana gets the ball through Volland in the penalty area, who was briefly delayed and then charged Navas. Monaco is back in the game.
50. Minute: Kevin Volland with a double chance to make the connection. First, the former national player only hits the net of the left wing, slightly off target. In the next corner, Navas sensationally parried Volland’s header and avoided the goal.

46. Minute: Continue onto Stade Louis II.
45. Minute: Break up in Monaco. The Kovac-Elf is lucky not to be any further behind. The sixth in League 1 has to think of something at halftime, otherwise Paris will no longer be able to win.
42. Minute: Monaco has to be careful not to sink here. At first, the crossbar saves after Kean’s header, but a few seconds later Diallo sends Mbappé back, who slips to 3-0, everyone thinks. The video referee intervened, the 21-year-old was offside.
Minute 35: PENALTY AND GOAL FOR PARIS. Fofana is too late to the duel in the space of sixteen meters against Rafinha. Referee Clement Turpin has no choice but to signal the point. Mbappé approaches and shoots the ball right into the net. 2-0 for Paris. But at least 50 percent of the door belongs to Angel di Maria. who paved the way for the foul on Rafinha with a fantastic hacking trick.

33. Minute: Almost compensation for Monaco. A Kurzawa return with a header is too short, Monacos Geubbels jumps in the middle but fails to push the ball into goal.
25th minute: GOAL FOR PARIS! And suddenly the doorbell rings. Di Maria sends the speedy Mbappé on a trip, who escapes from Disasi and hits the ball into the fold with the upper right corner. Guided tour by Thomas Tuchel.
23. Minute: The next long-range attempt, this time again on the side of Monaco, which does not contribute anything. The penalty areas for both teams have been greatly restricted so far.

20. Minute: Bad shock in midfield. Pareira comes forward with a stretched leg against Tchouameni in the duel – and rightly sees the yellow card.
19. Minute: The game is still very mixed. The stadium’s microphones make false fan sounds. A moderately spectacular event so far here in Monaco. But we keep waiting patiently …
17. Minute: Julian Draxler and Thilo Kehrer are missing injured on the Parisian side. Superstar Neymar just sits on the bench.
12. Minute: Now also the first grade on the Paris side. Danilo Pareira takes heart from 25 meters, but his shot passes overhead. “There’s snow on top,” would say one with a well-known soccer simulation.
10 minutes: Dangerous first action. Volland, ex-Leverkusen, runs from 20 meters from the center position for the free kick. PSG goalkeeper Navas can easily save the ball to the side.
3. Minute: Paris’s first dangerous action. Monaco goalkeeper Mannone makes a serious mistake, but Paris’s Kean can’t control the ball. The goalkeeper immediately apologizes to his teammates.
1 minute: And the ball rolls.
21:00: In Monaco, Kevin Volland, a former Bundesliga pro (Leverkusen, Hoffenheim), is in the starting lineup. For Paris, former Dortmund player Abdou Diallo also played from the start.
8:50 pm: It starts in Paris in ten minutes.
