Monaco are completely in control at the start of the game even if this shot from Anderson Silva could have changed everything.
What a dangerous strike from Anderson Silva who had completely deceived Hradecky! His left paw attempted an incredible roll-up from the surface but it crashed onto the bar!

Goal from T. Minamino who concludes a superb start to the match with a low goal after a pass at the right tempo from Akliouche! It makes 1-0 for Monaco!
Pafos has already suffered 3 incursions into its area at the start of the game.
We feel a strong desire to put pressure on the Monegasque side, with very high recoveries.
First big alert from Akliouche who crossed halfway into the area but no one was able to recover the ball.
The match has started in Cyprus!
Pafos has not lost in 4 matches, which makes them a team in good form, even if the Cypriot championship is less representative than that of Ligue 1.
This match must be taken seriously for the Monegasques who will fall against a team which has nothing to lose this evening, so we will have to give everything to get three very precious points.
AS Monaco, which remains on a success in Bodø/Glimt (0-1), will look to continue to stay in the race for the play-offs.
For its part, the princely club is 24th with 5 points on the clock.
A novice in the Champions League, a competition he is discovering this season, Pafos has the same number of points as his evening opponent (5) and is in 25th position in the league phase.
Hello and welcome to follow the match between Pafos and AS Monaco (kick-off at 6:45 p.m.).
