Monaco and Ben Yedder in demonstration against Ajaccio, before going to challenge Marseille
Author of a triple in 14 minutes between the 21 and 35th minutes with two goals from the left (3-1, 21st, and 4-1, 28th, on a subtle service from Aleksandr Golovin), and a penalty from the right (5 -1, 35th), captain Ben Yedder, now author of 11 goals in L1 this season, was the great craftsman of the Monegasque demonstration.
However, since the post-World Cup recovery, he had only contested 72 minutes in three meetings in the elite (45 in Auxerre, none against Brest and 27 in Lorient).
Ajaccio, for its part, too quickly led 2-0, following achievements by Axel Disasi from a corner (1-0, 2nd), and Krépin Diatta on receiving a strong cross from Vanderson (2-0 , 6th), has never been able to compete with his opponent. Even when Youcef Belaïli came to dab Guillermo Maripan before scoring with a nice brushed shot (2-1, 11th).
The Corsicans, who defeated Lyon on the next day, are now relegated, due to a very poor goal difference (15 points, -16, against -10 for Strasbourg, 16th, and -15 for Brest, 17th) .
The score easily acquired at the break allowed Philippe Clément to rotate his squad. His men, however, remained diligent. They made the mark twice worse through Breel Embolo.
