TOPS
Solar Tchouameni in the middle
The French international is so good that he makes this kind of performance unremarkable.
At only 22 years old, the player born in 2000 is a model of precocity.
This evening again, he was omnipresent, radiating in the midfield.
He took advantage of a badly cleared ball from a corner to open the scoring with a magnificent recovery at the very start of the game (5th).
In the game, he is the cornerstone of the Monegasques.
He rakes in everything that passes in the defensive phase, being imperial in duels.
Offensively, he is always in the good shots, whether in the projections ball at the foot or the luminous passes found.
It is also he who is at the origin of the second goal, with a hidden pass found for Akliouche.
Only fly in the ointment, he was quickly bailed out of
a yellow card (22nd) and was verbally warned by Mr. Delerue that he was not far from second (30th).
This did not prevent Philippe Clément from leaving his nugget, tracked by Real Madrid, until the end of the meeting.
Bamba the Picard metronome
If Amiens was able to worry Monaco for 70 minutes, it owes it largely to its midfielder.
Abdoul Kader Bamba would have deserved to be decisive on the score sheet.
Twice, he finds Akolo and offers him goal situations that he misses (25th, 27th).
He delivers six passes before a shot, a game record from afar.
He even tries his luck at the start of the second period but Mannone relaxes perfectly (53rd).
The free kick he takes after getting it is badly played (72nd) but he had the merit of fighting until the end.
Before that, he was omnipresent in midfield, filling the few holes that his teammates left for the Monegasques.
He declined physically, like his partners, after the 70th minute and was replaced by Lachuer (82nd).
Akliouche, a successful baptism of fire
For his first tenure as a professional, Maghnes Akliouche perfectly met expectations.
The forming nine was lined up on the right side and he adapted more than well.
Very restless, he often overtook his direct opponents with his speed and ball-to-foot technique.
He could have added an assist to his performance if Gelson Martins had played better in the area (13th) after a caviar.
He will console himself with the cake he gives to Kevin Volland on the second goal.
In the left of the surface, he resists Mendy and advances towards the goal.
He fixes the entire Amiens defense before offering the goal to his striker, who only has to push the leather into the empty goals (54th).
He gave way to Sofiane Diop (73rd), to loud applause from the Louis II stadium and his teammates.
FLOPS
Akolo missed too much
If he tried to the end, Chadrac Akolo missed too much to weigh in the meeting.
In the first half, he twice spoiled offerings from Keita.
The first time by leaving a bit too early and putting himself offside.
His dive had lobbed Mannone and ended up in the back of the net but the assistant referee logically raised his flag (25th).
Two minutes later, Bamba finds his striker and offers him a face-to-face meeting with the Monegasque goalkeeper on a set.
Akolo deceives Mannone but his shot goes slightly wide.
Two missed opportunities at 1-0 which cost dearly in the minds of the Amiens for the rest of the meeting.
He then narrowly missed technically before going out in the second period.
He is replaced by Arokodare, explosive on the front of the attack (64th).
Matsima upside down
The Monegasque defender is one of the rare false notes from the Rock players tonight.
Twice, he gets caught in the back because he is not concentrated enough.
The Amiens play two free kicks quickly and highlight the shortcomings of the player born in 2002 (17th, 25th).
During the Amiens domination in the first period, he took on water against his direct opponents.
His raises lacked confidence and he failed to impose his mark.
He was replaced at half-time by Maripan, who brought the solidity that the Monegasque defense had been lacking until then.
