It was the most anticipated match of this 2nd day of Ligue 1. This Saturday afternoon, AS Monaco tamed Olympique Lyonnais with a score of 2 goals to 0.

Eliesse Ben Seghir and Lamine Camara found the back of the net. A success that allows ASM to make a clean sheet in this start of the season with a second victory in 2 matches. The Monegasques have 6 points and are provisionally placed in 2nd place behind Paris Saint-Germain.

For OL, it’s a new setback. After the defeat on the Stade Rennais pitch, the Gones failed to raise their level of play in front of their fans and logically lost to a more incisive and enterprising Monaco team.

Monaco sharp after the locker room

It was the announced shock of this 2nd day of Ligue 1. And it turned in favor of AS Monaco. However, the two teams neutralized each other in the first half. Lyonnais and Monegasques created situations and had the opportunity to open the score during the first act.

But it was only after the break that the match would break loose. More enterprising and sharp in its attacks, AS Monaco would hit the target a few minutes after the hour mark. Found by Maghnes Akliouche in the area, Eliesse Ben Seghir would adjust with a fine right-footed shot against Lucas Perri. A shot on the ground that he would lodge in the small right net of the Lyon goalkeeper (1-0, 65th).

An achievement that will further free the club from the Principality and open the match that will go from one goal to another. At the end of the match, Lamine Camara makes the break. The young Senegalese takes a cross from the left of Kassoum Ouattara in the area and pushes the ball into the back of the net with his right foot. The number 15 was also sent off from the match at the end of the match after receiving two yellow cards.

The Monegasques will want to continue their momentum on the next day. Denis Zakaria’s partners will face Racing Club de Lens at the Stade Louis II. A match that promises to be rich in goals.
