Dreyer has heart
For his first minutes in a month, defender Léo Pétrot was solid next to Julien Laporte.
But Lorient can especially thank Matthieu Dreyer for this scoreless draw.
The Merlus goalkeeper never released a ball, neither on the strike of Vanderson (34th) nor on that of Sofiane Diop in the area (40th).
He illustrated himself with a nice headline on a half-volley from Jean Lucas after a corner (58th) and his reflex parade sickened Wissam Ben Yedder, who could not do better with a header from six meters (83rd).
For the second time this season and the first since last September, Lorient line up 2 matches without conceding a goal after their victory against Lens (2-0).

Disasi solid at the post
If they want to find something positive this Sunday, Monegasque supporters will surely turn to Axel Disasi.
It is partly because of him that Lorient only shot 5 times on goal (1 on target).
He acted well in cover when Terem Moffi entered the box (31st).
He deflected Armand Laurienté's shot (39th) for a corner and made him lose the ball on a counter against Les Merlus (56th).
A day at the office for the 23-year-old defender who won 9 duels out of 14 played.

Clumsy Monegasques
Concluding a match with 1.20 expected goal is good.
Scoring a goal is better.
Monaco had the chances but either stumbled on a very good Dreyer, or lacked application in the last gesture.
Vanderson did not find the frame of the head (4th), nor did Ben Yedder on a shot from the left in the box (28th).
Very active, Jean Lucas confused speed and precipitation by shooting in the small net (22nd).
Sofiane Diop, stopped near the penalty spot, was able to open his right foot but it was more of a pass than a shot for Dreyer (40th).
After half-time, Monaco overdominated to settle for a fine volley from Jean Lucas (58') and an almost point-blank header from Ben Yedder (83'), on which Dreyer sublimated.

Lorient produced nothing
Zero.
Like the number of Lorient shots in the second half.
And even before the break, Alexander Nübel had a very quiet 45 minutes in the Monegasque cages.
Only a desperate shot from Quentin Boisgard (6th) forced him to lie down.
The shy counters of Les Merlus never saw the light of day despite the ardor of Armand Lauriente.
The triple change of Christophe Pelissier on the hour mark had no impact.
Enzo Le Fée, supposed to make the link between the middle and the attack, mainly defended.
Dango Ouattara did have a counter ball, but Maripan called him to order in front of the box.
Lorient didn't offer anything offensively, but after all, he didn't come there for that.
