Beaten for the first time this season in Ligue 1 last week on the Nice pitch, Monaco fell again this Friday in the curtain-raiser of the 10e championship lift – this time at home and in front of Angers. Quite a surprise.
While they were fighting today to temporarily join PSG at the top of the elite, the Monegasques lowered their flag before the half-hour mark, victims of a former member of the Principality, Aholou, thus author of his second goal in two days (0-1, 29e).
The beautiful SCO series
Barely better inspired and sharper after this bamboo blow, Adi Hütter’s men ultimately were unable to catch up on the scoreboard, thus defeated for the second time in eight days and now under the direct threat of OM and Losc, who respectively face Nantes at La Beaujoire on Sunday and OL this Friday evening at home.
For the SCO, the operation is beautiful. Six days after opening their victory counter at the expense of Saint-Etienne, the Angevins are stocking up on confidence and points (eight out of 12 possible in the last four days) to distance themselves from the red zone.
