32'
Toulalan doing superbly well to dash back, and make the tackle on Danny. Showing all of his experience.
31'
Fayzulin mishits a loose ball that breaks to him 22 yards out, but Rondon can't do enough to turn the effort on goal. Half-chance there for the home team.
30'
Ball comes off Raggi last, and that will be a corner to Zenit that Danny can tee up for the home side.
29'
28'
Hulk is unhappy about something or other after the ball comes off him before landing out of play.
27'
Monaco left-back Layvin Kurzawa has cut a menacing figure so far this evening. Has really carried the game to the opposition.
26'
Berbatov penalised for a foul on Anyukov. Game continues to be broken up with plenty of niggly fouls off the ball.
25'
As Spurs fans will know, too much of the attacking play under AVB can be done at walking pace. Really need to try to stretch this visiting defence.
24'
Danny accepts the pass from Criscito. But forced to turn back inside as Monaco manage to get plenty of men behind the ball.
23'
Hulk trying to pick out Rondon in the centre, but ends up lifting the cross into the arms of Subasic.
22'
Berbatov deemed to have fouled Criscito in the Zenit area, and that will be a free-kick to Zenit that will take the heat off the home team.
21'
Fayzulin with a needless handball, and Monaco can throw this free-kick into the home area.
20'
The home fans making some noise, but most of the cutting edge has come from Monaco as Javi Garcia commits a foul on Toulalan.
19'
Dirar then sends Danny crashing to the ground in his own half. And on we go with the scoreline delicately poised at 0-0.
18'
Danny failing to do enough to cut a dash beyond Fabinho. All a bit frustrating for Zenit in their quest to find some space.
17'
Jose Rondon has scored seven timets this season for Zenit, but has yet to come up with a shot at goal for the home side.
16'
Monaco suddenly revelling in a period of possession. The home fans making themselves heard while their team are deprived of the ball.
15'
14'
Carvalho knocks the ball off Anyukov. And that is a goalkick to the visiting side. Smart piece of defending by Carvalho.
13'
Criscito with a poor pass that goes straight out of play. Zenit trying to build up a period of possesion.
12'
João Moutinho throws in the corner, but Lodygun claws out the corner.
