Will Still’s team put in a stellar performance by beating Monaco on home soil this Saturday (3-1).
Often in difficulty against the teams at the top of the table during the first phase of the championship, Reims has regained momentum. This Saturday, and for its first outing of the year, the Champagne team managed to defeat Monaco on home soil (3-1).
Reims put on a show
Will Still’s team took a nice revenge on the princely team who had beaten him in the first leg by the same score. And we cannot say that it was an overused success. At the Stade Louis II, the Champenois provided the necessary ingredients to win. And above all they scored three magnificent goals.
The Maltese Teddy Teuma opened the scoring in the 35the minute, following a marvel of counter-attack. At the initiative of this action, he also found himself at the finish and shot Kohn with a powerful strike from 20 meters. Reims’ second goal was the work of Reda Khadra. For his 4e tenure in Ligue 1, the German international hopeful put on a show by signing an achievement after a solo action and with a hint of success (55e). Finally, the visitors’ third goal was the work of Azor Matusiwa. The Dutchman closed the festival with a left shot into the top corner.
Monaco marks time
This second goal saw the legs of the Monegasques, because the latter had just equalized through Wissam Ben Yedder (49e). The French international scored by deflecting a good cross from Aleksandr Golovin with his head. A short-term relief for the locals.
For ASM, the shoe pinches inevitably with this poor performance at the start of 2024. Especially since this is the second setback in a row that the Monegasques have conceded in front of their public after that against Lyon.
