Monaco scored a last-second victory against Montpellier (2-1) and caught up with Paris SG on Saturday during the 6th day of Ligue 1, which also saw Lille regain confidence (3-0) in Le Havre.
At Louis-II, AS Monaco celebrated its 100th anniversary with the great thrill of a victory acquired in the last moments, on a long shot from Lamine Camara which hit the post before slightly entering the cages of Dimitry Bertaud (90+9).
The exclusion in the 90th minute of Tanguy Coulibaly for a second yellow card ended up having consequences. A real blow for the Montpellier residents who are fighting for the slightest point at the start of the season and who opened the scoring with Nzingoula (16). Falorin Balogun set the record straight in the 33rd minute.
Monaco has 16 points like PSG, pending Marseille’s match (13 points) against Strasbourg on Sunday (8:45 p.m.). Montpellier remains on 4 points, in 16th place in the play-off pending the matches at Saint-Etienne and Angers on Sunday.
The clash between Lens and Nice, with the backdrop of the reunion of Aiglons coach Franck Haise with the team he was still coaching a few months ago, did not lack interest but goals (0 -0).
There were chances but the match never swung, in its appearance as much as in the score, in favor of one side or the other. The result does not suit either the Sang et Or (5th, ten points) nor the Gym (6th, eight points).
In the third match of the day, Lille, which hosts Real Madrid on Wednesday in the Champions League, bounced back after four defeats and a draw in all competitions, by crushing Le Havre at the Océane stadium (3-0). Taking advantage of Le Havre’s weaknesses, striker Jonathan David blazed by scoring a hat-trick.
the Northerners provisionally rise to 4th place in the ranking with 10 points, while Le Havre is in 13th place with 6 points.
