"Victory! Football in the spotlight tonight after the terrible last night."
End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME: Monaco bravely hold on to claim a crucial 3-2 victory over Dortmund.
Only 24 hours after a such a deeply disturbing event, both teams served up a classic 90 minutes of football. Dortmund and Monaco, you should be very, very proud.
90'+1
We're into the first of three additional minutes...

MISS! Oh my, Dortmund should be level! Aubameyang gets on the end of Dembele's cross but somehow puts it over the bar from a few yards out!
89'
Monaco have a goal-kick and Subasic will take an age with this one... Thomas Tuchel looks on anxiously from the touchline.
88'
There was always going to be goals in this contest but have Dortmund got one more in their locker? There's two minutes of normal time remaining...
87'
Dortmund are pushing for an equaliser again as Dembele delivers a cross into the area but Glik, who has enjoyed a tremendous game, is there to clear for a corner which comes to nothing.

GOAL! Mbappe scores his second of the game as Monaco grab their THIRD away goal of the evening.
The French forward nips in to intercept Piszczek's pass back to Sokratis, he still has plenty to do but shows his quality as he smashes the ball past Bürki from all of 20 yards.

HUGE CHANCE! Falcao spurns a wonderful opportunity to seal the game for Monaco as the Colombian rounds the goalkeeper but sends the ball over the bar. Will this come back to haunt the visitors?
74'
Sokratis, who is already on a yellow card, is extremely fortunate not to be shown his marching orders as he lunges in on Mbappe but the referee keeps his cards in his pockets on this occasion.
72'
Dembele twists and turns before shooting but it's deflected out for a corner. Guerreiro delivers another decent cross but Glik rises highest to head clear. Monaco survive, for now.
70'
But Dortmund come forward once more. It's only a matter of time before they celebrate an equaliser, surely?
69'
It's a good ball in from Guerreiro but the Monaco defence is equal to it and clear the danger.
68'
YELLOW CARD: Dirar gets the wrong side of Kagawa, he hauls his opponent down and receives a booking for his troubles. Dortmund have a free-kick right on the edge of the visitors' penalty area now.
