Zapping Foot National At 93, the film
AS Monaco in charge! After 45 minutes of play this Saturday, October 5, as part of the 7th day, the Principality club leads on the Stade Rennais field (2-1). A result which temporarily allows him to take sole lead in the championship. To get there, Denis Zakaria’s partners quickly showed their intentions. Coming from afar in Zagreb on Wednesday in the Champions League (2-2 after being led 2-0), the Monegasques quickly took the advantage thanks to a header from Thilo Kehrer, who cut a corner from Eliesse Ben Seghir at the first post (6th).
A week after its logical defeat in Paris (1-3), Rennes already found its back against the wall at Roazhon Park, a few minutes after paying tribute to its former playmaker Benjamin Bourigeaud, who left for Qatar this summer. Enough to inspire one of his former teammates, it seems… Six minutes after the visitors opened the score, it was Ludovic Blas who put the two teams back on level terms on the scoreboard, releasing a left-footed missile more than thirty meters away (12th, 1-1). Already one of the goals of the season (see below)!
Balogun puts his people back in front
But this Monaco version 2024-2025 seems unsinkable for the moment… Well into its match, ASM took control of the game thanks to Falorin Balogun. Perfectly found by Ben Seghir at twenty meters, the American striker quickly moved on to control the ball then take it into the area, before stinging the ball in front of Steve Mandanda (23rd, 1-2). A real center-forward goal for the ex-Rémois, which for the moment allows his team, after 45 fast-paced minutes, to lead in Brittany. On the Rennes side, note the injury exit of Danish midfielder Albert Grønbæk just before the break, apparently injured in a knee…
To summarize
AS Monaco in charge! After 45 minutes of play this Saturday, October 5, as part of the 7th day, the Principality club leads on the Stade Rennais field (2-1). A result which temporarily allows him to take sole lead in the championship.
