A small Monaco tilts in Brest (2-0)
Monaco moved on the lawn of Brest with the objective of temporarily taking 4th place in case of victory. Objective missed for the players of Kovac, who lost in Brittany. Mounié and Honorat are the scorers on the Brest side.
Monaco were confident and took control of possession from the start of the match, deprived the premises of the ball. But against the course of the game, Brest would open the scoring shortly after the quarter of an hour of play. On a free kick (on a not very obvious fault of Ci Henrique), Faivre occurs immediately which appeared at the far post for the score. After this opener, Monaco continued to have control of the ball but it was far too sterile to return to the mark …
On the return from the locker room, Monaco besieged the penalty area to try to equalize, but the Asémistes were too imprecise and too little dangerous to hope, while the Stade Brestois proceeded against, and tried to make the break. At the end of the match, Brest scored the second and killed all suspense in this meeting. Well served by Cardona, Honorat deceived Nübel.
With this result, Monaco remains in the soft underbelly of the standings, in 10th position. Next meeting for the Red and White Thursday, with the reception of PSV Eindhoven on the 4th day of the group stage of the Europa League.
