E. Matazo enters the game and replaces Gelson Martins.
Gelson is replaced by Matazo for Kovac's men.
Baiashile is fouled by Ruiz-Atil in the Monaco penalty area and that lifts some of the pressure on the home side.
90' +2
S. Jovetić enters the game and replaces S. Diop.
Jovetic enters the fray as Diop departs. A case of wasting a bit of time there I'd imagine!
90' +1

There’ll be a minimum of four minutes of additional time played here in Monaco. That will feel like a lifetime for fans of the home side.
90'
Luis comes on for Tchouameni for the hosts. The youngster has had a great night in central midfield for Monaco.
88'
P. Kimpembe gets yellow.
Kimpembe is the latest into the referee's book as he fouls Martins who looks through on goal. That's a naughty challenge by the PSG skipper.
87'
Cesc Fàbregas gets yellow.
Fabregas is booked as he hacks down Dagba in midfield.
85'

Description
80'
K. Ruiz-Atil gets yellow.
Ruiz-Atil goes into the book for a late tackle on Diop.
77'
Monaco are looking the most likely to get a late winner here. PSG have been slow on the ball in the second half and devoid of any real ideas. The champions need something special in the last 15 minutes of play to grab the three points.
73'
Neymar tries to take on a few defenders but Matsima tackles him and the away side get a corner. The subsequent delivery is poor though and Monaco clear the potential danger with ease.
71'
Mbappe’s departure is a bit of a puzzling one. The French forward already has two goals to his name tonight and looked dangerous every time he had the ball at his feet. Kean - who hasn't featured too much tonight so far - is a lucky man to still be out there.
69'
K. Ruiz-Atil enters the game and replaces K. Mbappé.
L. Paredes enters the game and replaces Danilo Pereira.
68'
M. Bakker enters the game and replaces L. Kurzawa.
A change at left-back for PSG as Bakker comes on for Kurzawa.
Paredes comes on to replace Mbappe who won't complete his hat-trick tonight against his former side.
65'
K. Volland has scored a goal for Monaco! Assist by Cesc Fàbregas.
Not sure Fabregas knew too much about it but he gets the assist for Volland's second of the night.
GOOOAAALLLLL!!!! 2-2. VOLLAND DRAWS MONACO LEVEL!!! What a turnaround this is and Monaco deserve to be level. A ball is whipped in by Tchouameni towards the onrushing Fabregas. Navas comes out to tackle the Spaniard but the midfielder's touch pushes the ball sideways and Volland finishes into an empty net.
64'
PSG pile forward as Neymar finds Kurzawa down the left wing. The full-back picks his head up to spot Kean peeling away from his defender but the Italians first time effort goes wide at the near post.
62'
PSG are looking a little tired in central midfield right now. Danilo in particular has been late to a few challenges and runs the risk of picking up a second booking if he continues.
60'
Neymar enters the game and replaces Á. Di María.
Di Maria departs and Neymar joins the fun as PSG make their first change. That’s a big statement from Tuchel who potentially thinks his side need the insurance of more goals in this clash.
56'
PSG just need to get control of the ball and slow the tempo of this match down. Monaco are buzzing right now and are hungry for a second.
54'
Monaco deserve that goal after starting this second-half very well. The hosts have pushed PSG back and the introduction of Fabregas in particular has given them an extra dimension from central midfield.
52'
K. Volland has scored a goal for Monaco!
GOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!! 2-1. VOLLAND!!!! Game on as Monaco get one back!! The build-up play is excellent as Tchouameni finds Martins in the box. The winger is tackled by Diallo but the ball falls very kindly to Volland who makes no mistake from close range.
48'
PSG have a big early chance as Mbappe is brought down by Disasi just outside the box. Di Maria goes for goal, but his effort is just too high and doesn’t trouble Mannone.
46'
Caio Henrique enters the game and replaces F. Ballo-Touré.
Cesc Fàbregas enters the game and replaces W. Geubbels.
The experienced Fabregas replaces Geubbels at the break as Kovac opts for a change.
Ballo-Toure leaves the action too with Henrique his replacement.
Both sets of players are back on the field and the action is back underway.
45' +2
HALF-TIME: MONACO 0-2 PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN.
43'
It’s a long, long way back for Monaco now in this one. The hosts have largely played well but find themselves two behind before the break. PSG are managing this game very well and it wouldn’t be a surprise if they go on to add more goals this evening.
40'
VAR confirms that Kean was infact offside and Monaco survive going a third goal behind. That's a huge let off for Badiashile whose mistake led to that disallowed finish.
37'
Penalty goal scored by K. Mbappé for PSG!
GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! 2-0 PSG. MBAPPE AGAIN!!!! The French forward steps up to the penalty spot and dispatches his effort. His attempt is full of power and it easily beats Mannone to the bottom right-hand corner of the goal.
35'
Y. Fofana gets yellow.
Fofana gets a yellow card for the late challenge.
PENALTY FOR PSG!!! Rafinha breaks into the box and crosses from the right but Fofana follows through on his man and the referee points to the spot.
32'
NEARLY AN EQUALISER!! What a let off this is for Kurzawa! A ball is looped over from the left wing by Monaco and the full-back tries to nod the ball back to Navas but his effort doesn’t get there. Instead he gives the ball to Geubbels who heads wide from five yards out.
30'
OOOHHHH! PSG could have a big chance on the counterattack but Mbappe can’t play through Kean. It’s a big punt up field from Kurzawa but the Monaco defence are asleep on the halfway line and Mbappe breaks. The French forward tries to find Kean but Badiashile does well to recover.
28'
PSG are really focusing their play down the left wing so far tonight in an effort to really test Matsima at right-back for Monaco. The full-back could do with a bit more help from Martins in front of him.
25'
K. Mbappé has scored a goal for PSG! Assist by Á. Di María.
A lovely through ball from Di Maria who sliced the Monaco defence open with that contribution.
GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!! 1-0 PSG. MBAPPE!!! What a finish this is! Monaco lose the ball in the middle of the park and Danilo pounces. The midfielder releases Di Maria who in turn finds Mbappe through the middle. Disasi has to pull out of the challenge as the PSG forward rounds him before coolly slotting into the top left corner from just inside the box as Mannone advanced.
24'
Monaco are doing a fantastic job of pressing the play when necessary here. Youngster Matsima in particular has done well so far tonight in his task of facing Mbappe head-to-head.
20'
Danilo Pereira gets yellow.
Danilo is the first name into the referee's book tonight for a brash foul on Tchouameni. The Portuguese midfielder was just too late there.
18'
Great play from Mbappe gives Di Maria a chance to shoot from distance. The Argentinian winger goes for goal from around 30 yards out but his left-footed effort drifts harmlessly wide.
16'
Not too many chances in this one so far. PSG have dominated the early possession but there’s no lack of fight from Monaco who are very much getting stuck into their tackles.
14'
PSG look to be playing in a 4-2-2-2 formation tonight with Mbappe joining Kean upfront for the visitors. The pair will certainly pose some big challenges for Disasi and Badiashile at the back for Monaco tonight!
12'
CHANCE! Volland steps up to the free kick and unleashes a left-footed strike from 25 yards out. His effort is powerful but it’s straight at Navas who pushes the ball away to his right.
10'
Danilo commits a handball and Monaco have a very dangerous free kick just outside of the PSG penalty area. Volland looks like the one to take.
8'
The first shot of the match comes from Diop for the home side. The winger cuts inside from the left flank but his effort is weak and slides well wide of Navas’ near post.
6'
As expected, Mbappe has already had plenty of touches of the ball in the early stages on this match. His return from injury is a huge boost for Thomas Tuchel and his PSG side.
4'
Monaco were of course the last team to win Ligue 1 other than PSG – Les Monegasques winning the 2016-17 title. A win tonight against their rivals from Paris would send out a big statement!
2'
Early frustration for the visitors as Rafinha’s through ball towards Mbappe hits the referee. That could have been a big early opening for PSG.

Referee Clement Turpin blows his whistle and we’re underway here at Stade Louis II!
