Leaving behind them a sunny afternoon, the Louis II stadium in Monaco was the scene of a crucial meeting of Ligue 1, between AS Monaco and Olympique de Marseille, two teams occupying respectively second and third place in the rankings. The match announced itself as a duel at the top, an intense confrontation between two teams aspiring to the first places of the French championship. In the first few minutes, AS Monaco showed an undeniable mastery of the game, taking the initiative thanks to promising actions orchestrated by Minamino and Akliouche.

Despite an attempt by Luis Henrique for Olympique de Marseille, which unfortunately did not translate into a framed shot, the Marseille team struggled to counter the Monegasque dynamic. Gradually retreating, Marseille players had to face repeated AS Monaco assaults until Minamino, perfectly launched by a determined recovery from Captain Zakaria, opened the score. After the break, AS Monaco returned to the field with the same determination, putting the Marseille goaltender, Rulli, to a tough test. Embolo then reinforced the Monegasque advantage, while Zakaria, on penalty, dug the gap, bringing the score to three goals.

Thanks to this convincing victory, AS Monaco climbs to second place in the standings. The next rendezvous at the Louis II stadium will see the Monegasque team host the Strasbourg club, in a match that looks crucial for the pursuit of its ambitions in Ligue 1. The goalkeeper Philip Kohn, thanks to his decisive interventions, was able to preserve the integrity of his nets throughout the meeting, thus contributing to the remarkable performance of his team.
