Launched in pursuit of the leading trio, Monaco comes to put pressure on Lyon and Lille who play later this Sunday.
The Monegasques hardly beat Brest, the fault above all to Gautier Larsonneur, the Breton goalkeeper.
He kept his team in the match for a long time, multiplying impressive parades and even saving a penalty from Ben Yedder (30th).
Unfortunately for him, he had to give in to Jovetic in the 76th minute.
Volland definitively pushes Brest in the 90th minute.
AS Monaco returns to Lyon and has the same number of points as Lyonnais who travel to Marseille this Sunday evening.
Lille are still three points ahead of ASM before facing Strasbourg this Sunday afternoon.
