The Monegasques lost in added time at the Louis-II stadium this Friday evening (0-1).
The match: 0-1
It’s a match to quickly forget.
Already not very successful throughout the match with a post and two missed penalties (see below), Adi Hütter’s men collapsed at the end of the match on a personal exploit from Jérémie Boga, who went solo offer victory to OGC Nice in this derby (0-1, 90+1).
Before that, Folarin Balogun (45+4′) had found the post, while the Niçois had also found the bar, on a header from Youssouf Ndayishimiye (77′).
Faced with an imperial Marcin Bułka, Youssouf Fofana’s teammates failed to find the fault. Best attack in the championship since the start of the season, the Monegasques remained silent, letting the realistic Niçois seize first place in Ligue 1, to the delight of Jim Ratcliffe, present in the stands.
Next meeting for AS Monaco, next Saturday (9 p.m.) for a new shock against Olympique de Marseille, still at Louis-II.
The fact of the game: Balogun lacks success
Started for the first time by Adi Hütter, the American international had a difficult evening. Scorer last week in Lorient, Folarin Balogun had numerous opportunities to score but missed all his attempts.
In addition to the post found just before the break (45+4′), the former Stade de Reims striker saw Marcin Bułka twice reject his penalties (12′, 54′). A glaring lack of success which prevented his team from opening the scoring three times.
Replaced by Wissam Ben Yedder (67′) shortly after the hour mark, it was with a closed face that the American went to sit on the bench. He will be keen to redeem himself quickly, starting next Saturday against OM.
The phrase: “A lot of frustration”
Denis Zakaria: ” It’s hard. There is a lot of frustration tonight. It’s hard to play a match like that. We missed two penalties, but we just didn’t have a good match. We were unable to open the score. We will have to work hard to be better against Marseille. »
