Monaco is still stalling

And three. While it remained in two matches in a row without success in the championship (a defeat and a draw), AS Monaco recorded a third consecutive disappointing result this Sunday, with a draw conceded at home against promoted Le Havre (1- 1, 20th day). The Monegasques could see Brest fly away in front of them, but could above all be caught by Lille which hosts Clermont (3 p.m.). For Le Havre, this is another solid performance, enough to allow it to further consolidate its eleventh place, five points ahead of its first pursuer.

For a long time, the two teams remained side by side. So long that they were finally unable to decide between them. Dominant in possession, Monaco had far too little on target to hope to take the advantage in the first period (one shot on target out of six). Opposite, Le Havre mainly focused on defending, trying to play the counter-attack. Without success. Enough to return to the locker room with a goalless draw of 0-0.

Unhappy Fofana

At the restart, exactly the same scenario with Monegasques more enterprising, but still not very worrying for the opposing defense. And it was finally on a loss of the ball from Kechta in his own half that Le Havre opened the scoring to ASM. At the conclusion, the inevitable Ben Yedder on a service from Akliouche (1-0, 63rd). The hardest part seemed to be done for Adi Hütter’s men, and yet…

However, barely two minutes later, on a free kick from Le Havre placed in the box, Fofana stretched out his leg and diverted the ball into the back of his own net. Express equalization, to the delight of the visitors (1-1, 65th). And the meeting resumed its initial course, with domination by the men of the Rock, but without a goal to achieve it a second time. Enough to confirm a draw which will not do the business of the Monegasques (1-1). In a week, the ASM will have a lot to do with a trip to neighboring Nice. Le Havre will also have work with the Stade Rennais reception.
