Monaco beat Young Boys 4-0 to book their place in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

Monaco are in the third-round qualifying draw for the Champions League after they thrashed Young Boys 4-0 in the second leg of their tie tonight.

Monaco had the first chance of the half as Nabil Dirar cut the ball back for on-loan midfielder Mario Pasalic, but his shot was blocked by the keeper.

Joao Moutinho went close with a curling free kick shortly after, before Young Boys registered their first shot on goal through Miralem Sulejmani, which went well wide.

The hosts continued to attack on the front foot as Layvin Kurzawa blasted high from long range, before Moutinho drilled a low effort straight at the keeper.

Leonardo Jardim's men finally broke the deadlock shortly after the break as Ivan Cavaleiro cut inside Scott Sutter and bent the ball into the far corner.

Shortly after, they doubled their lead as Kurwaza glanced home a corner from Moutinho, before Andrea Raggi's low cross was tapped into the net by Anthony Martial.

Substitute Stephan El Shaarawy added a fourth with a deflected shot from range minutes later.
