Psg Vs Monaco match facts
Paris St-Germain beat Monaco 2-2 on the night and 5-4 on aggregate to reach the last 16 of the Champions League. The match took place at Parc des Princes, where the hosts squeezed through after an eventful second half and stoppage-time drama.
Early chances and first goal
Monaco went ahead just before half-time. Mamadou Coulibaly threaded a ball through to Maghnes Akliouche, who finished first-time into the bottom corner the post to open the scoring. Earlier in the half Akliouche had played a promising ball into the box but Coulibaly's effort from that chance flew high over the bar, and the away side nonetheless led at the break.
Red card and turning point
The game changed just before the hour mark when Mamadou Coulibaly was sent off. He received two yellow cards in three minutes, the second shown for a tackle on Achraf Hakimi while he was already on a yellow picked up three minutes earlier. The dismissal left Monaco with 10 men and shifted momentum firmly toward PSG.
Immediate PSG response
PSG levelled the tie almost immediately after the red card. Marquinhos slotted home from Desire Doue's low cross to make it even on the night. Georgia winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia sealed the victory in the 66th minute when he fired in from close range after Achraf Hakimi's low strike had been parried into his path by Monaco goalkeeper Philipp Kohn.
Late consolation and aggregate outcome
In stoppage time Jordan Teze fired into the bottom corner for Monaco, but it was a mere consolation. The match finished 2-2, giving Paris St-Germain a 5-4 aggregate win and progression to the Champions League last 16. The holders will face either Chelsea or Barcelona in the next round and will discover their opponents in the knockout draw on Friday (11: 00 GMT).
