Football Ligue 1 – An incredible Ben Seghir offers victory to Monaco
16th day of Ligue 1
Abbé-Deschamps Stadium
AS Monaco beat AJ Auxerre: 3 to 2
Goals: Niang (30th), Fofana (68th csc) for Auxerre; Ben Yedder (45th + 2), Ben Seghir (58th, 85th) for Monaco
AS Monaco had the opportunity to get off to a good start, after their defeat against OM in their last match before the World Cup break, and the Principality’s team did not miss out on the trip to Auxerre. Faced with the promoted, who is struggling to maintain himself, it was first a question of penalties since after the opener by Niang (30th sp), ASM equalized just before the break by Ben Yedder (45th + 2 ). Dissatisfied with his team, Clément made three changes at the break, notably by launching the young Ben Seghir in place of Ben Yedder.
At 17, Ben Seghir blew up Auxerre
The shot was perfect since it was the 17-year-old ASM striker who restored the advantage to his team (1-2, 58th), but Auxerre still came back to score, Fofana deceiving his own goalkeeper (2-2, 68th). But that did not stop Ben Seghir, who with a light shot deceived Costil and offered a precious victory to AS Monaco (3-2). With these three points, the Principality club is level with Marseille, while AJA remains in the red zone.
