AS Monaco turns off the cauldron! On the road to Geoffroy-Guichard to face AS Saint-Etienne as part of the 32nd day of Ligue 1 This Saturday, May 3, the Principality club actually came out to temporarily take second place in the ranking.
Monaco opens the scoring and loses biereth
This capital success for ASM, it was built in the second minute thanks to the opening of the early score of Maghnes Akliouche (2nd, 0-1). Found at the second post by Caio Henrique, the Monegasque offensive concluded a marvel of collective movement from his team. Not enough to discourage the Greens, meanwhile to the fight for their maintenance in the elite. The players of Eirik Horneland actually approached the equalization on a little bit of Irvin Cardona passed flush with the opposing post (7th), then on a half-volley from Florian Tardieu, a corner in corner by the head of Caio Henrique (16th). Volunteers but too clumsy during a rhythmic part, the partners of Gautier Larsonneur did not manage to find the Monegasque nets in this first act.
It was even visitors who went close to double the bet, again by Akliouche. But the Monegasque striker, launched in depth, lost his face to face with the last Stéphanois rampart, author of a floor parade (29th). Deprived of Mika Biereth, hit on the right side in a duel with Mickaël Nadé (10th) and replaced by Breel Embolo in the process, the Red and White experienced a first hot stroke on the return from the locker room when Zuriko Davitashvili, launched on the left side of the opposing surface, totally forgot to serve two of his forgotten teammates Off-frame (53rd).
Balogun’s blow
The Georgian then caught up for a few minutes by rewarding the domination of the locals. With a sublime strike rolled out of the surface, the ex-Bordelais equalized and revived the hope (65th) … for a short duration. Three minutes later, Moatasem al-Musrati took advantage of a ball badly returned by the Stéphanoise defense to double the setting of an attempted flat of the foot, on which Larsonneur strangely hoarse (68th, 1-2). Sanded, the Greens were definitely slaughtered when Folarin Balogun coldly converted his face to face with the Pierzien porter (78th, 1-3).
The blow of too much for the Stéphanoise troop, worse defense of France (74 goals conceded against 71 in Montpellier) and certain to remain penultimate at the end of the 32nd day. One point behind the Barragist Havrais and three behind the first non-relief Angevin, Sainté will now play his survival in Reims (10/05) then against Toulouse (17/05). The beautiful operation is therefore coming back to Monaco this Saturday evening. Before finishing with a shock against Lyon (10/05) and by a trip to Lens (17/05), the Principality club temporarily resumes second place at OM, expected in Lille tomorrow evening (8:45 p.m.). The race for the Champions League is therefore still as indecisive and exciting, especially after the victories of Nice and Strasbourg preceiving. In Lyon (against Lens at 5.15 p.m.), Lille and Marseille to answer!
