Stopped by Losc last week, Monaco resumed its march forward this Sunday at the expense of Brest (2-0).
The ASM will not have doubted for long. Upset in Lille last weekend, the Principality team recovered at home this Sunday as part of the 11e lifting of Ligue 1. Faced with unpredictable Brest residents this season, the Monegasques did not fail. And this despite the two goals denied to the Bretons in the first period, at Le Douaron (11e) then Brassier (27e).

Monaco also had its goal invalidated via VAR – for Balogun in this case (25e) – but Zakaria’s achievement, from the header to the fall of a corner from Golovin, was well counted (1-0, 16e). Like the superb victorious strike signed by the same Russian previously decisive passer, at the heart of the second act (2-0, 69e).
Brest, the bad times
Thus the Rocher club was able to make the difference, in front of an SB29 which did not deserve and will regret some contrary decisions, like this potentially forgotten penalty for a charge by Diatta behind the back of Le Douaron , who was subsequently injured (41e). Brassier saw red in added time, on a second warning. And Brest suffered a third loss in the championship while remaining sixth in the standings. In front, Monaco is close to Paris, a length behind. This while waiting for Nice’s possible response against Rennes in the evening. The Gym could steal the show from this prestigious tandem that forms PSG and ASM.
