Monaco and Strasbourg make their way in a tense draw

Monaco – A draw and blank (0-0) scored the 30th day of Ligue 1 between AS Monaco and the Racing Club of Strasbourg Alsace on Saturday night. This shock at the top of the standings held the fans, but did not lead to victory for either team.

AS Monaco, ranked 2nd before the meeting, and Strasbourg, 6th, faced each other in an intense duel. Despite a good form and a positive series for the Alsatians, the Monegasques did not manage to change the balance.

At the end of the meeting, ASM coach Adi Hütter was pragmatic. “That was what we expected. Strasbourg is also on a good show, in good shape. It was an intense game, without many goal opportunities. I think we had the best situations to win this game. Strasbourg was lucky at the end of the first period on our rejected goal. We take this point, it’s an important point. We keep our lead on Strasbourg. We wanted to win, but it wasn’t that easy today. We were expecting them more offensive, but we were also very, very well defended on our side,” he told DAZN’s microphone.

Central defender Wilfried Singo (24 years old) also analysed the situation: “A tense match? We had a good team opposite, a team playing, with young players who are not afraid. The intention was to win. We had opportunities, we couldn’t make it happen. Most importantly, these are the next matches, to finish the season well. "

Liam Rosenior, the RC Strasbourg coach, praised the intensity of the match: “A very intense match? Yeah, it was. Very intense, between two superb teams. Monaco has extraordinary players, we must respect it. We had to defend in the best way, we did. The players gave everything. We had to keep the balloons a little better but overall, come here and get the draw, that’s a very good point. (…) Players are young, they fight, they have a lot of energy. I’m very happy.”

This draw, although disappointing for both sides, allows AS Monaco to keep a lead over Strasbourg in the standings.
