Title: Ligue 1 Round 15: Monaco Beats Ajaccio 3-1
The Ligue 1 is one of the most prestigious football leagues in France, and this week saw two thrilling matches that showcased some impressive performances from both teams.
On Saturday, Monaco took on Ajaccio at Stade de France, with Ben Yedder scoring his first goal for the club in just his second game back after a long layoff. This was followed by another goal from Ben Yedder, who scored a hat-trick to give Monaco their first win of the season.
However, it wasn't all good news for Monaco as they were also defeated by Lyon in the Coupe de la Ligue semi-finals, losing 2-1. The loss meant that Monaco had to wait until the end of the season to return to action, but they showed resilience in their battle against Lyon, earning a point despite being down 2-0 at halftime.
In contrast, Ajaccio managed to secure a valuable draw, thanks to a brace from Zlatan Ibrahimović and a goal from Jean-Louis Pogba. The victory means that Ajaccio will now have a chance to qualify for the Europa League next season, while Monaco's performance has been widely praised.
Despite these victories, Monaco still faces a tough schedule coming up, including a trip to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the Champions League quarter-final round, which could impact their chances of making it to the final. However, the team remains focused on improving their form and securing their place in the top flight of French football.
