Ligue 1, 12th day
Stade Louis-II
Monaco-Brest 3-2
Goals: Akliouche (5th, 90th+1), Golovine (24th) for Monaco; Sima (50th), Ajorque (90th+7) for Brest
Led by a great Maghnes Akliouche, AS Monaco dominated Brest 3-2. A valuable success to allow him to temporarily return to within 3 points of PSG.
Beaten twice in their three Ligue 1 matches before the break, Monaco could not fail against Brest and thus let PSG slip into the lead. A fact well assimilated in the first period during which Monaco was lethal. From the start, the Akliouche-Ben Seghir duo struck on the counterattack. The second served the first who adjusted Bizot. The double was even close for the Franco-Algerian with a shot on the post (9th). Golovine finally made the break with a nice shot from 20 meters after Edimilson Fernandes lost the ball. Everything was going well for the Rock and it would have been 3-0 if Embolo had applied himself to his recovery from 6 meters (45th).
However, Adi Hutter's men lost track a little after the break. Brest were more dangerous and quickly reduced the score via Sima from a corner. At 2-1, Monaco was more nervous in a match where the interventions were more aggressive on both sides. ASM had a good blow in stoppage time when Akliouche scored the third goal with a subtle dive. An achievement all the more important as Ajorque scored 3-2 a few moments later. Monaco therefore returns to 3 points behind PSG thanks to its success while Brest remains 12th, only three points above the red zone.
