It’s over, Monaco won 3-0!
A one-sided game, the Monegasques made the difference in the first period thanks to a double from Minamino, before the goal of 3-0 signed Ben Yedder in the second period. ASM scored on almost every one of their chances. Strasbourg, opposite, showed almost nothing. Monaco temporarily takes the lead in Ligue 1.

Entrances to Akliouche and Diatta.
Double change for Strasbourg
Doukouré and Delaine leave, replaced by Sissoko and Senaya.
Kohn in the air
The Monegasque goalkeeper, author of a blunder during the first day once morest Clermont, seizes this ball well. It is irreproachable today, but also little requested.
The rhythm drops a little
Since the 3-0, Monaco has less need to insist and the match is less intense.
Matazo replaces Camara
We also take the opportunity to take the cool break of the second period, while it is still very hot.
Bakwa in the surface!
Served in depth, the Strasbourg striker takes the ball rather well and is hit by a defender in the area. But he is flagged for offside.

BEN YEDDER FOR THE 3-0!
With a little success, the Monegasque captain concludes a superb Monegasque action. After a recovery from Fofana, Minamino finds Ben Yedder in the deep. The shot from the French striker is deflected by Sylla and deceives Sels. 3-0 for ASM.
BEN YEDDER !
Vanderson crosses from the right. Doukouré deflects the ball slightly and prevents Ben Yedder from adjusting his shot, imprecise and wide. It was a 3-0 ball.
Golovin is looking for Ben Yedder!
With a small ball stung in the back of the defense, the Russian seeks his captain, outstripped by Sels who can repel the danger.
Nice ball outing from Zakaria
The Swiss eliminates two players thanks to his technique then shifts Camara. He makes a solid game.
Sylla’s risky ball outing
He loses the ball once morest the Monegasque density, he puts Strasbourg in danger.
Camara notified immediately
He indicates that it is his first fault but that does not change anything, he dried Bellegarde with an uncontrolled tackle.

Caio Henrique as Neymar and Vinicius
The Monegasque full-back has been the best Brazilian assist in the five major leagues since 2020/21, along with Neymar and Vinicius.
It’s the break at Louis II
2-0 for AS Monaco, thanks to a double from Minamino, very prominent in this first period. The Alsatians first struggled to keep the ball, then to use it.
Direct free kick from Bellegarde
It’s very distant but well shot. Captured by Kohn.
Six minutes of added time
Usual now in Ligue 1, even if there was not much downtime in this first period, apart from the pigeons leaving the field.
Vanderson down
The Brazilian was stepped on by Deminguet. He is being treated and will be able to resume.
Minamino served deep
He tries a throw in the axis but it is missed and the defense can intervene.
Strasbourg lacks precision
On a deep pass for Mothiba, the South African striker does not see the ball coming, the pass is imprecise, it represents the first half of the Alsatians well.
DOUBLE FOR MINAMINO!
IT WALKS ON WATER! On a cross from the left and from Caio Henrique, Minamino takes a perfect header and deceives Sels. The Strasbourg defense is completely taken while it is in clear numerical superiority. 2-0 for Monaco!
First card for Golovin
He is penalized for a foul from behind on Diarra.
Another pigeon in the field
It does not stop: for half an hour, the pigeons come on the ground and some find themselves touched by the ball. Camara is forced for the second time to take a pigeon by hand to get it out of the field.
Mothiba’s head from just above!
It is finally the first Strasbourg situation in this meeting. On a cross from Delaine, Mothiba takes the best of the defense and places his head at close range, but it goes over the top.
Left Minamino
The Japanese crosses his shot in a tight angle. It’s next door but he is the most active on the side of the Monegasque attack.
Freshness break
The opportunity for Patrick Vieira and Adi Hutter to pass their instructions. The match is not very intense since Minamino’s goal.
The return of the pigeons
They come in numbers on the lawn and interfere with the game. This is the second time already in this meeting.
MINAMINO OPENS THE SCORE!
Not much was happening, Minamino got us out of trouble! On a light strike, the Japanese finds the small net of Sels and gives the advantage to Monaco. 1-0!

A pigeon on the lawn
The referee is forced to stop the game. Camara catches the pigeon, apparently touched, to take it out of the field. The animal was hit by the ball on a Monegasque pass.
Monaco is looking for an opening
It combines in front of the area, but for the moment we can’t find the pass that breaks the last Strasbourg defensive line.

The premiere of Singo with Monaco
In addition to Zakaria, Wilfried Singo, who arrived in Monaco in recent days, will also make his debut with the Principality club. The side recruited from Torino for 10 million euros must bring a little serenity to a defense that lost Disasi this summer.
How AS Monaco handles the Ben Yedder case
Indicted for rape, attempted rape and sexual assault, Wissam Ben Yedder enjoys the support of his club which does not wish to interfere with justice. The striker with 19 caps with the Blues even offered victory to the Monegasques during the first day in Clermont (2-4).
