After the expulsion at the 21e minute of Ibrahim Sissoko for a bad gesture on Leonardo Balerdi, the Stéphanois, poorly classified in L1, conceded the opening score less than two minutes later by Mason Greenwood, author of a beautiful volley at the entrance to the surface. Adrien Rabiot doubled the lead in the 34thefrom a recovery from a corner, then Luis Henrique (69e) and Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg (81e) increased the score in the second half.

Monaco ensures

The Monegasques made the difference in the first period against one of the two little thumbs in the competition thanks to Eliesse Ben Seghir, who found the opening by sliding the ball between the legs of Fawzi Rabyi (20e), before Vanderson beat Larry Viltard in the area (37e).
In the second half, Jordan Teze, with a nice shot from outside the area (65e), and George Ilenikhena in added time (90e+1), increased the score while the amateurs saved the honor by Benjamin Tournier (83e).
Rabyi saved two penalties, first against Breel Embolo (45e+3) then against Takumi Minamino (58e).
