Another great intervention from Singo in the position of the last defender he does the job to prevent Adams from going alone on goal.

He had seen Balogun’s good call but Ben Seghir gave it too hard, the ball ended up in Bertaud’s gloves.

The beautiful combination of the two Monegasque scorers to equalize. Embolo in power gives himself some air in front of the goal before delivering a superb ball to his attacking companion who ends up perfectly between Bertaud’s legs.

It was on target, another shot from 20 meters from Nzingoula who is confident, Köhn dives well to push the ball away.

Monaco is trailing but the nugget Ben Seghir seems to be in good shape. After a ball recovered close to his area, the Monegasque winger accelerates to get rid of three players before being jostled in the central circle. Monaco keeps the ball.

Balogun picks up and is served perfectly, he overtakes everyone on the right wing to perfectly serve Embolo full axis, but the Swiss catches the ball poorly and finishes well above.

Gross foul by Sagnan on Embolo who was protecting his ball with his back to goal, the Montpellier defender is logically warned. Third warning of the season, he will miss the match against Marseille.

He took a blow to the head, the Montpellier star remains stunned on the ground and comes out temporarily to see the trainers.

Montpellier starts strong on the wings, we look for the axis and Adams, Monaco defends carefully and clears.

Monaco in its beautiful special centenary tunic kicks off this meeting.

Logically placed on the bench against Le Havre after a complicated start to the season, Breel Embolo is still looking for a goal this season. In tough times with his selection, the Swiss international continues average performances with the Rocher club. Facing Montpellier he has the opportunity to finally launch his season and unlock his score.

After its forceps success against Auxerre on the last day, Montpellier gave itself a little breathing room after a very complicated start to the season. Der Zakarian’s men are in the lead with four points. Against Monaco, they will try to hold out as long as possible.

With 13 points in five games, Adi Hütter’s AS Monaco is clearly playing the leading roles in Ligue 1. The club is also having its best start to the season since 2016/2017, a year when the principality’s club was champion of France and where Kylian Mbappé had revealed himself. Before Montpellier, Monaco is full of confidence since its great success against Barça. Last test in front of his audience before chapter 2 in the Champions League on the pitch of Dynamo Zagreb this Wednesday.

As against Auxerre on the last day, Michel Der Zakarian prefers Bertaud in the cages at the expense of Benjamin Lecomte.

To mark the club’s 100th anniversary, AS Monaco wore a special jersey.

Adi Hutter continues with his typical team to continue and keep in touch with the lead.
