The match gets underway at the Stade Louis II. Monaco garner an early chance as Lamine Camara crosses and Mohammed Salisu shoots on target, but PSG goalie Lucas Chevalier denies him in the fourth minute.
It has been slow going so far, with not much happening by way of progressive moves and offensive action in the game. Vitinha is booked for handball in the 33rd minute, while PSG miss a couple of chances soon after.
Four minutes of added time elapse and that brings the relatively uneventful first half to an end. Neither side has scored, though PSG did create a few chances. Let's see if action picks up post the interval.
The mid-game interval ends and players return for the second half. Will we see an improved showing from PSG in the coming 45 minutes? Find out soon.
Monaco take the lead! PSG have something to think about in the business end of this game, as Takumi Minamino latches on to Aleksandr Golovin's assist and puts the hosts ahead in the 68th minute. Let's see how Paris Saint-Germain respond.
PSG are unable to make the most of a one-man advantage, with Thilo Kehrer sent off in the 80th minute, as Monaco surge to a 1-0 win at home against the reigning champions.
After tonight's setback, PSG host Rennes at the Parc des Princes on Sunday (December 7 as per India time) in matchday 15. They are still on top of the table with 30 points, though Luis Enrique's side have played one more game than the second-placed Marseille.
