Monaco offers the derby and continues its good series!
AS Monaco received OGC Nice this Wednesday (7 p.m.) in the shock of the 33rd day of Ligue 1. A derby which ended in success for the Red and Whites (1-0), which degraded their neighbors in the ranking.
Derby night at the Stade Louis-II… and evening of victory for AS Monaco ! Les Rouge et Blanc, who received OGC Nice this Wednesday during the clash of 33and day of Ligue 1, won 1-0 and continued their positive series, with a fifth victory in a row.
The eleven winner in Rennes renewed
For this meeting, Philippe Clément decides to renew the team which won in Rennes last Friday (3-2), with in particular the duo “Yedderland” in front, accompanied on the sides by Vanderson on the right and Aleksandr Golovin on the left.
The Red and Whites are attacking this game hard with a hot first action from the right, but neither Aleksandr Golovin nor Wissam Ben Yedder can hit (1before). Behind, everyone is also concentrated since Benoît Badiashile against a strike from Jordan Lotomba (7and). The following minutes are rather closed, with only a header from Mario Lemina above from a corner (23and), and a strike from Aurélien Tchouameni captured by Walter Benitez (25and).
“Golo” breaks the lock
Youssouf Fofana then tries his luck with a nice volley at the entrance to the area, but it unfortunately goes over (31and). The best chance of this first period is for Wissam Ben Yedder, launched into the area by Aleksandr Golovin but who stumbles in front of Walter Benitez (37and). The Nice lock finally jumps in stoppage time. On a cross from Vanderson repelled by Benitez, “Golo” concluded closely (1-0, 45and+2).

The match is racing, Monaco is holding on
The 3and but the Russian this season in the league ideally launches the Red and Whites, who rather calmly manage the Nice offensives on their return from the locker room. Andy Delort, however, sends a big shiver through the Monegasque defense on a header that flirts with the post (65and). But the response comes quickly. First on a shot from Kevin Volland slammed for a corner by Benitez (70and), then in stride by Wissam Ben Yedder, who finds the post on a superb stung ball (71and).
Aaaah that damn pole for Wissam 😱

The match then gets carried away and Khephren Thuram goes against and sees his shot diverted by the Monegasque defense (72and). Served by Kevin Volland, “Captain Wissam” tries his luck again but finds the Nice goalkeeper on his way (75and). The ball goes from one goal to another at the end of the match but the Princely Club holds on!
Next meeting in the Cauldron
Monaco signs son 5and success of affiliation, which allows him to pass in front of OGC Nice in the classification and to place himself a little better in the fight for European places. Launched in this final sprint, the Monegasques will continue on Saturday with a trip to the lawn of Saint-Etienne (7 p.m.), on the occasion of the 34and Ligue 1 day. To try the pass of six!
