Despite being ahead at half-time thanks to some great efficiency, the young Monaco U17s were forced to give in at the end of the match against the Bianconeri for their third preparation match.
A great rehearsal against a tough opponent. Having left for Italy to play a new friendly match against their counterparts from Juventus Turin, Manu Dos Santos’ protégés showed character. Largely dominant in the first half (3-1), they were then overturned with a revamped eleven with the young 2009 generation.
From the respondent in the lead
The game started to the advantage of Juventini, with an early opening goal by the Italians (1-0, 6th). But the Red and Whites did not give up and the response was signed by Joël Mendes, on a service from Medhi Tlili (1-1, 18th). Much better in the second quarter of an hour, the Monaco U17s pushed and Ilies Belmokhtar sent a missile into the top corner (1-2, 22nd)!
Irresistible, Belmokhtar sees double
Already a scorer in the Derby against Nice (3-2 success), the latter will even drive the nail in. On a transition led by Chaihane Badoro, the Monaco midfielder serves Belmokhtar for the double (1-3, 37th)!
The break is whistled on this beautiful domination of the residents of La Diagonale. Unfortunately Juve takes back the thread of the match in the second, striking just before the hour mark and a battery of changes (2-3, 57th).
Half-time everywhere
Significantly rejuvenated by the presence of many U16s, the eleven of the Rock will then suffer and concede three goals in quick succession in the last half hour. Final score 5-3 for Juventus Turin, despite a very good performance by AS Monaco in the first act.
Each team will have had its period, and the youngsters of Manu Dos Santos and Ruddy Ebondo will have gained great experience in Italy.
