Monaco triumphs over Ajaccio in Ligue 1
In a thrilling match at the Stade de France on Sunday, Monaco secured their first league victory since October 2022, defeating Ajaccio 2-0. The hosts dominated the game from start to finish, capitalizing on several opportunities to break through the opposition's defenses.
The first goal came in the 44th minute when Ben Yedder, Monaco's leading scorer this season, found himself in space in the penalty area after a corner kick. He calmly placed the ball into the net to give his team the lead.
Just three minutes later, Monaco doubled their advantage as Frédéric, another key player for the club, scored from close range. His shot sailed past the goalkeeper and into the back of the net, widening the gap between the teams.
Ajaccio did not go down without a fight, though. They managed to create some good chances in the second half, but Monaco's defense held firm. Their solid performance in the final third was crucial in securing the win.
Disasi, who had been playing for Ajaccio for several seasons, finally broke through in the 75th minute. However, his effort was disallowed due to offside rules.
This result is significant for Monaco, who have now won four out of their last five matches, including a draw against defending champions Paris Saint-Germain earlier in the season. It also marks the end of a challenging period for the club, which has struggled with injuries and form throughout the season.
Moving forward, Monaco will look to build on this win and continue their climb up the table in Ligue 1. The team faces tough fixtures ahead, including visits to leaders PSG and Lyon, but they remain confident in their ability to compete at the highest level of European football.
