Diallo 65'; Diatta 43' Diop 53'

XG: 1.39 - 2.48

Monaco win the three points
ASM win their first match of the season in L1 on the ground of a combative Racing. In the lead at the break thanks to the jewel of Diatta, worn by an inspired Diop who knew how to make the break, Monaco was almost caught in a breathless end to the match where Nübel and the VAR frustrated the Alsatians. Monaco win the three points

Embolo 72'; Laborde 59'
Red card Fofana (Monaco) 15'
Penalty missed Disasi (Monaco) 33'

XG: 2.40 - 2.02

A draw and regrets at Louis II
Monaco and Rennes leave each other back to back after a lively match. Reduced very quickly to ten with the red card of Fofana, Monaco did more than resist Rennes. Thanks to his first goal in L1, Embolo allowed ASM to maintain their invincibility, while Rennes still do not win

MD3 to b played next week-end with MONACO v LENS (Saturday 20/08 17:00 CET)

[SimonB]

I see that things appear to be going from bad to worse for Saint Etienne in Ligue 2 at the start of this season, currently lying bottom after 4 matches (partly because of a points deduction). I see that they lost 0-6 at home to Le Havre yesterday ( ), with obviously the 3 red cards not helping at all.

[Lyonnais]

Indeed. They have a young team, most of the players directly promoted from the academy and will have to learn quickly

Ligue 1 - MD3


Game of the week

MONACO - LENS 1-4
Badiashile 41'; Openda 7' Machado 38' Fofana pen 55' Saïd 78'
Red card Vanderson (Monaco) 72'

XG: 2.28 - 2.46

Lens correct Monaco in the Principality
RC Lens have never seen their dominance challenged at the Louis-II stadium. The Sang et Or, intractable defensively, played their football under the impetus of a great Seko Fofana. A massive blow for Monaco, which had been undefeated for 12 matches in Ligue 1.

MONACO (4-4-2): Nübel - Vandrson, Disasi, Badiashile, C.Henrique (Jakobs 67') - Diatta, Matazo (Camara 46'), J.Lucas (Sarr 76'), Minamino (Golovin 56') - Embolo, Ben Yedder
Coach: P.Clement
LENS (3-4-2-1): Samba - Gradit, Danso, Medina - Frankowski, Samed, Fofana, Machado - Sotoca, Costa - Openda
Coach: F.Haisse


Man of the match

I didn't watch the game but it is very surprising to me that whoscored named a player of Monaco as man of match, namely a defender. However, to be consistent, let's follow them

Ligue 1 - MD4


Game of the week

PARIS SG - MONACO 1-1
Neymar pen 70'; Volland 20'

XG: 2.72 - 0.24

Stop for Paris
PSG pushed to come back to score after Volland's opener, hitting the posts three times. It took a penalty for Neymar to equalize in a game where the three Parisian attackers were ghostly, muzzled by an excellent Camara.

PARIS SG (3-4-2-1): Donnarumma - Ramos, Marquinhos (Mukiele 87'), Kimpembe - Hakimi, R.Sanches (D.Pereira 63'), Verratti, N.Mendes - Messi (Sarabia 87'), Neymar - Mbappé

Game of the week

LILLE - NICE 1-2
Bamba 19'; Delort pen 22' Pépé pen 29'

XG: 0.94 - 1.54

Nice look up
Nice carried out the hold-up in Lille for their first success of the season, only two shots on target for two penalties including the decisive one from Pépé. However, Lille dominated from start to finish, with ardor in the second half when the Gym's defense was exemplary, like Schmeichel (five saves).
