A little more active offensively after the entry of Eliesse Ben Seghir upon returning from the locker room, Monaco was not transformed however. Close to surprising ASM on the counter, Angers almost conceded the equalizer on a strike from Breel Embolo, served in the open area by Caio Henrique. But Yahia Fofana intervened at point blank range in front of the Swiss attacker (69th). Embolo, scorer in Nice last weekend, unscrewed his shot in a pivot on a powerful serve from Takumi Minamino (75th). Two rare opportunities wasted in the heart of a rather closed match, and which Angers could have killed without Radoslaw Majecki's save against the incoming Esteban Paul (82nd). Despite the final Monegasque assault in added time, with aborted attempts from Minamino and Alexandre Golovine (90th+4), Angers held on and continued its climb in the standings (14th, 10 points).
