Monaco, a hot start
It's starting to be a habit on the Monaco side.
Already authors of an explosive start to the match against Nantes (4-1) in Ligue 1, Philippe Clément's men did it again this Thursday evening, on the occasion of their 3-1 success against the Turkish club Trabzonspor in the Ligue Europe.
Helped by the very early red card from Maxi Gomez (12th), Ben Yedder wasted no time in scoring the first goal of the game a handful of minutes later (14th).
Ben Yedder is launched
The French striker confirms.
Author of a complicated start to the season, Ben Yedder went through a “troubled” period.
But for some time now, he has found his way back to the nets.
First scorer against Reims (0-3) on September 18, the Monegasque captain followed up with a resounding hat-trick against Nantes in Ligue 1 and a double this Thursday in the Europa League.
FLOPS
Maxi Gomez sees red
It is difficult to say 100% if his gesture is voluntary, but it seems all the same that there is a bad intention.
In a duel with Camara, Trabzonspor striker Maxi Gomez collapses and kicks the Monegasque in the mouth as he falls.
After viewing the VAR, Mr Kruashvili decides to take out the red.
The Turks played with 10 for almost 80 minutes.
No clean sheet for Monaco
The Monegasque discipline was quite good on this meeting.
After the 3-0 goal in the 55th minute, Philippe Clément's men naturally eased off.
But maybe a little too much.
If the reduction in the score of Bakasetas (71st) has no direct impact, Monaco still deprives itself of a cleen-sheet, always appreciated by goalkeepers and defenders.
