This Saturday, AS Monaco strengthened its position in the second place race of Ligue 1 by dominant Olympique de Marseille at home (3-0) during a crucial meeting. The victory, won in front of an enthusiastic audience at Stade Louis-II, illustrates the Monegasques’ determination to secure a favourable place for the final stages. The goals of T. Minamino, B. Embolo and D. Zakaria sealed the fate of the meeting, testifying to the strength and effectiveness displayed by the Monegasque team.

After a difficult first period, marked by an initial domination of the Olympique de Marseille, AS Monaco managed to reverse the trend with a liberating goal. This realization allowed Monegasque players to impose their game in the second period, exploiting the spaces left by a disorganized opposing defense. The Swiss striker, Breel Embolo, spoke about the importance of this goal, stressing the need to avoid a possible equalization that could have compromised the outcome of the match. He also highlighted his team’s ability to exploit the opponent’s faults, including by taking advantage of their high defence line.

In a post-game interview, Breel Embolo shared his impressions of the encounter, highlighting the difficulty of breaking through a particularly tight opposing defense. He also mentioned the impact of Folarin’s absence and the role of Georges, whose game profile is close to his, allowing an interesting complementarity in attack. Embolo concluded by saying that his ability to play in tandem with Georges allows him to make himself harder to score and get more opportunities, while contributing to the defensive effort of the team.
