Besiktas and Monaco played a draw in the fourth round of the group stage of the Champions League - 1: 1.

In the duel of the leader and outsider of Group G, everything was not as simple as it might seem from the side. Nine points and the first place Besiktasha did not indicate that the "black eagles" in all respects exceed Monaco, who held with one point the last line in the standings. Where Fortune generously lavished its smiles on the Turkish team, the Monegasques received only grimaces ... Perfectly understanding the real layout of the forces, the guests from the very first minutes began to storm the possession of Subashic. And although there were practically no real moments to really acute moments, still the guests could not organize intelligible counterplay. However, this continued only the first quarter of an hour, after which if Monaco did not seize the initiative, then, at least, leveled the game. At the same time Fabry had more reasons for concern than his colleague Subashic.

It seemed that the injury to Lemaire, which did not allow one of the leaders of Monaco to continue the game already in the middle of the first half, should significantly affect the game of the guests, but they on the contrary added to the motion and already at the compensated time, Roni Lopes opened an account.

However, the advantage in the account on the side of Monaco did not last long: Jorge in the struggle with the opponent lost his balance and, falling, knocked down his. The judge pointed to the "point" without hesitation, and Tosun, having sustained a grandmaster's pause, outplayed the goalkeeper.

Naturally, this success prompted the hosts to more active actions. But Monaco, this failure was not unsettled, and the match continued with double-edged attacks. But only in spite of the abundance of sharpness of those and other gates, the score on the scoreboard has not changed.
