AS Monaco clinical! This Saturday evening, as part of the first day of Ligue 1, the club from the Principality won by a score of 1 goal to 0 against AS Saint-Etienne.
A success that was generally controlled thanks to a goal from Takumi Minamino in the first half. A victory that allowed ASM to start the season well and rise among the leading teams.
On the other side, the Stéphanois missed their return to Ligue 1 and were unable to snatch at least a point from the draw on the pitch at the Stade Louis II, despite a great resistance. The Greens will therefore have to bounce back on the next day against Le Havre in front of their home crowd.
A few scares, but ASM starts its season well
AS Monaco was expected to deliver in this first match of the 2024-2025 championship. Adi Hutter’s team left a great impression with a sparkling victory against FC Barcelona on August 12 with a score of 3 goals to 0.
From the start of the match, Takumi Minano’s teammates imposed their game. From the start of the match, Minamino thought he had opened the scoring before his goal was disallowed for offside.
But a few minutes later, the Japanese did it again. Served in depth by Vanderson, the number 18 went on to deceive Gautier Larsonneur with a right-footed lob full of composure and technically correct (1-0, 28th).
An achievement that will accentuate the Monegasque domination. Nevertheless, Thilo Kehrer’s partners will not double the lead and make the break in this game. The Greens will even make ASM doubt after the break. Unfortunately, Ibrahim Sissoko’s goal is disallowed by the referee in the 72nd minute of play. The Monegasque public can therefore breathe and leave with the victory. Monaco will want to confirm its good start during the next Ligue 1 matchday during the clash against Olympique Lyonnais on August 24.
