After two losses in a row conceded to Nice and Angers, AS Monaco was able to relaunch this Saturday as part of the 11e day of Ligue 1, on the Strasbourg lawn (1-3). A victory that looks like a small miracle given the scenario of the game.
Surprised by Doué before the half-hour mark (1-0, 29e), the Monegasques chased the score for a long time before breaking through a last quarter of an hour of madness. It was a penalty obtained for a handball from Moreira on the goal line which allowed Ben Seghir to set the record straight (1-1, 79e). And the same Ben Seghir to give his team the advantage on an Akliouche caviar in the process (1-2, 89e).
Second place recovered
Cruel for Racing, like the blunder of Sow which at the kick-off allowed ASM to add to the score, thanks to the opportunist Ilenikhena (1-3, 90e+1). The RCSA suffered a third setback in four days of the championship and remained confined to the second part of the table. The Principality club, for its part, spared itself a mini-crisis, returned to winning ways and stole second place in the ranking from OM, temporarily three lengths behind the Parisian leader.
