Monaco has definitely been struggling for some time on the road. After their defeat in Marseille (2-1, 13th day) and their draw in Reims (0-0, 15th), Adi Hütter’s men snatched a new draw on Friday evening against Nantes (2-2, 17th day). A lesser evil for the men of the Rock who recovered from a two-goal handicap. In the ranking, they remain provisionally third, while Nantes is fourteenth.
The Canaries started the game perfectly. Not impressed by the opposing standing, they opened the scoring in the twelfth minute of play through Matthis Abline (1-0). No other goal until the break, but the Nantes break was achieved as soon as they returned from the locker room, this time thanks to Kelvin Amian (2-0, 47th), also served by Sorba Thomas, author of two assists this evening .
Led, the ASM knew how to react
But while the Beaujoire public seriously began to rejoice, the cold snap did not take long since Breel Embolo almost as soon reduced the gap in favor of ASM (2-1, 52nd). Relaunched, the Monegasques equalized less than ten minutes later on a lucky goal from Mohammed Salisu, however placed in the right place in the Nantes area after a missed exit from Anthony Lopes (2-2, 60th).
The two teams will then each have the opportunity to score again, but without realizing it. At the final whistle, Monaco could rather be satisfied with this point to recover. As for the people of Nantes, they could find themselves blocked depending on the results of Angers and Saint-Étienne, their first pursuers who have the same number of points as them.
