Surprised by Angers, Monaco plunges into doubt

An unexpected result… but logical after this evening. AS Monaco actually hosted the SCO this Friday at the start of the evening as part of the opening match of the tenth day of Ligue 1. A meeting which saw the promoted team win by the smallest of margins thanks to an achievement by Jean-Eudes Aholou at the half-hour mark. The Principality club suffered a second defeat in a row, Angers a second victory in a row.

The ASM was not there in 1st

Angers will present themselves from the start with better intentions than the second in the championship and will create a big opportunity from the seventh minute of play. Thilo Kehrer is completely consumed in his duel with Ibrahima Niane, who has the opportunity to rush to the goal. The Angevin offensive player wants to pass it on to Himed Abdelli, alone on the left. Wilfried Singo uses his speed to cut the trajectory of this pass. At the start of the second quarter of an hour of play, the visitors will continue to amaze on the lawn of the Louis II stadium and see Jim Allevinah catch a ball with a half-volley. This misses the point but it was well played by the winger who played for AS Saint-Étienne or even Clermont.

AS Monaco is really not there, despite around 8,000 supporters present on this public holiday Friday. In the 29th minute of play, it was a player who passed through the Rock who opened the scoring… against the White and Red. After seeing his shot being repelled by the opposing defense, Jim Allevinah shifts Jean-Eudes Aholou at the edge of the area. Already a scorer last weekend, he unleashed a magnificent shot from the left, with an outside spin, which ended up in the back of the net in the top corner. What an opening score! Adi Hütter's men will then start to turn the ball around the Black and White area. Without success, since the Anjou club leads by the smallest of margins.

Angers held on well in the second

As soon as they return from the locker room, Maghnes Akliouche will attempt a heavy strike with his left foot, which will pass right next to the target. AS Monaco then begins to lay siege to the last meters of the opposing team. In the 55th minute of play, Eliesse Ben Seghir will take charge of a full-axis free kick. It's in the arms of Yahia Fofana. Angers continues to resist the Riviera waves and will be very scared in the 70th minute of play. While Angers could go on a counter-attack, AS Monaco will take advantage of the spaces in the opposing defense to rush in. On the left, Caio Henrique manages to send a cross back which takes the Scoist rearguard from behind. The ball arrives at Breel Embolo, who thinks to equalize but who stumbles on a simply monumental save from Yahia Fofana. Foot!

In the process, Himed Abdelli will continue to make his magic speak, with a magnificent little bridge over Takumi Minamino. Alexandre Dujeux's men continue to show personality on the lawn of the second in Ligue 1. A few seconds later, Takumi Minamino is alerted on the right and crosses very hard behind. Breel Embolo turns around magnificently but sends his left-footed shot into the Monegasque sky. The SCO will offer itself a few opportunities to make the break on the counter-attack at the end of the match, without success. The promoted team remains solid and offers itself an XXL victory on the lawn of a championship leader.
