Dominant at the start of the match, the Monegasques quickly found the fault against Benfica, with a nice collective movement which allowed Moroccan attacking midfielder Eliesse Ben Seghir to open his account in the Champions League this Wednesday.
In search of a success that would bring it a little closer to qualification, AS Monaco has come a long way towards accomplishing its mission. During his promising career, Moroccan international Eliesse Ben Seghir will long remember this evening of November 27, 2024, at the Louis II stadium.

At the start of the action, the Russian Golovin caught two players along the touchline, in his own camp. Served on the opposite side, Vanderson unleashed a sharp shot, pushed back by the opposing goalkeeper towards the far post.
The Lisbonites probably thought the danger had passed, but Golovin hung around on the lookout, with Ben Seghir hanging back to welcome his teammate's offering. This goal rewards the Monegasques' convincing start to the match, more than ever in a position to qualify for the rest of the competition after five days, provided they maintain this advantage.
