To the 37th minute game, Gelson Martins opens the scoring but is disallowed for an offside position. Just before halftime, Krepin Diatta takes advantage of a second ball following a corner to place a volley, which lodged in the cage of the Belgian Mats Sels. monaco takes the lead just before the end of the first half.
A great gesture to start the season!
After long minutes of Monegasque domination, a new action is led by the left side Ismail Jakobs who sends a cross, cleared for a corner by the Strasbourg defense. There are two minutes left, the corner is drawn and Disasi is dueling to recover the first ballbut it is ultimately his teammate Diatta who takes advantage of this second ball to pick it up outside the box. A recovery that will end at right of Sels goal to launch Philippe Clément’s men’s season perfectly. There are still 45 minutes left before the final result. Who from Monaco or Strasbourg will win this duel?
