45'
TWO minutes of added time to be played at the end of the first-half.
43'
Dembele finds space on the right flank but his cross is too close to the Monaco goalkeeper Subasic who makes a rather unconvincing punch but it does the job.

42'
The hosts win a corner which Dembele takes but it's too deep and Monaco can regroup.

41'
Dortmund will now have to throw caution to the wind as they chase the game and that should make for an intriguing second-half as we're now all aware of Monaco's pace on the break.
40'
YELLOW CARD: Ginter goes into the book for a foul on Lemar. The referee had played an advantage but Silva is unable to capitalise as he slices his effort well wide of the goal.

Papastathopoulos makes a crucial sliding challenge to take the ball away from Mbappe as Monaco push for a third goal.
37'
It was a wonderful cross from Raggi and Falcao would likely have scored anyway.
35'
GOAL - Monaco extend their lead!
It's a calamitous own goal from Bender who heads the ball into his own net from Raggi's cross. Dortmund have a mountain to climb now.

OFFSIDE: A let off for Monaco as Piszczek's shot from just outside the penalty area takes a wicked deflection and falls kindly for Dembele who would score only for the lineman's flag.
31'
That was better from Dortmund, though. Thomas Tuchel's side have been too ponderous thus far and guilty of too many square passes.

GLORIOUS CHANCE MISSED! Ginter turns his marker easily before picking out Kagawa who really ought to level the scores but he inexplicably screws his shot wide from a few yards out.
28'
Monaco win a free-kick in a wide area, the delivery is sent to the back post where Toure takes up a good position but the full-back just can't get onto the end of the cross.

So far so good from Leonardo Jardim's side. The Ligue 1 side have been so strong and organised at the back and as we seen in Manchester, they're deadly on the break.
23'
Monaco feel they should have another corner as Glik's headed effort goes behind the goal, but the visitors believe it took a deflection. They really aren't pleased when the referee points for a goal-kick.
22'
Mbappe continues to cause Dortmund all kinds of problems as he dances into the home side's penalty area but Piszczek does well to get a toe in and concede the corner.
20'
Well, we all expected an enthralling game and the teams certainly haven't disappointed thus far!
19'
GOAL - Monaco are ahead!
Moments after missing a penalty, the visitors take the lead and it's a wonderful goal on the counter attack! Silva picks out Lemar in an acre of space, his cross/shot finds Mbappe who is left with a simple tap-in at the back post.
