AS Monaco achieved a positive result on the 3rd day of Ligue 1 when it took place on the ground of RC Strasbourg Alsace (3-2). After a defeat against LOSC, the Monegasques demonstrated remarkable courage and determination to win this victory, thanks to spectacular action at the end of the game. Offensive media Maghnes Akliouche was particularly successful, scoring the first goal and delivering a decisive pass for the third goal, allowing Takumi Minamino to stand out. This win pushes AS Monaco to fourth place in the standings, with six points.

The game started with an applied Monaco, quickly taking the advantage thanks to Akliouche’s goal on a Balogun pass. The team then confirmed its domination in the second period with a second goal from Balogun, following a good recovery by Hradecky. However, Monaco then lost track of the game, allowing Strasbourg to return to the score thanks to individual actions and a penalty transformed by Panichelli. Despite a Strasbourg team galvanised by its replacements and playing ten after the expulsion of Nzingoula, Monaco managed to maintain its lead thanks to a final action led by Minamino and Akliouche.

This victory is all the more significant as it comes after the confirmation of the transfer of Eliesse Ben Seghir to Bayer Leverkusen. The young offensive milieu, which arrived in Monaco in 2020, signed a five-year contract with the German club for an estimated €37.5 million. This sale is part of a policy to renew the Monegasque workforce, along with several other players who left the club during the summer. AS Monaco will now have to find solutions to fill the gaps left by these departures while continuing to progress in Ligue 1.
