AS Monaco was full of praise on Monday for the performance of its Moroccan attacking midfielder Eliesse Ben Seghir, who led his teammates to a precious victory (1-3) away to RC Strasbourg, in a match counting for the 11th day of Ligue 1 played this weekend.

Double scorer at the end of the match to overthrow Racing Strasbourg and thus offer a precious victory to the Rouge et Blanc (1-3), the Moroccan international, from the AS Monaco Academy, was elected MVP (Most Valuable Player) by the supporters, rejoices the club on its website.

Eliesse Ben Seghir “totally changed the course of the match in ten minutes flat. Lacking success in his choices until the start of the last quarter of an hour and with AS Monaco trailing 1-0, he took matters into his own hands to offer a stunning victory to the Rouge et Blanc (1-3 )”, welcomes the Principality club.

First forcing Diego Moreira to commit a hand fault on his line to prevent his shot from ending up deep, the Moroccan international (6 caps, 3 goals) coolly transforms the penalty by ideally placing the ball out of reach of the opposing goalkeeper (79th).

Then on a counter-attack (…), he finds himself in a good striking position in the area. Without trembling, he crosses his shot, lodging the leather in the small net of Petrovic (89th), thus offering himself his ninth and tenth career goals with AS Monaco, according to the same source.

At 19 years and 267 days, Eliesse became the club’s third youngest player to reach this mark in the 21st century, behind Kylian Mbappé (18 years and 75 days) and Anthony Martial (19 years and 142 days), specifies AS Monaco.

It is therefore no surprise that the bronze medalist at the Olympic Games in Paris was widely elected MVP of this victory at Meinau and this, for the fifth time this season, concludes the club
