# Monaco Secure Important Win Over Ajaccio in Ligue 1 Round 15 Monaco proved their mettle on Saturday as they secured a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Ajaccio in the 15th round of Ligue 1. The match, played at Stade Louis II, was a thrilling encounter that showcased the depth and quality of Monaco's squad. The win, coupled with their recent form, has solidified their position in the top half of the table. The game started at a steady pace, with both teams looking to impose their styles. Ajaccio, known for their defensive resilience, came into the match with a point to prove, but Monaco’s attacking prowess eventually told. The first goal came in the 15th minute when Ben Yedder, the league’s top scorer, capitalized on a defensive error to slot home from close range. Yedder’s goal was a testament to his clinical finishing and his ability to exploit opportunities in the box. Monaco’s second goal arrived just before halftime, thanks to a well-crafted move. Frédéric, who has been instrumental in midfield this season, delivered a perfectly weighted cross into the box. The unmarked Ben Yedder was on hand to head the ball into the net, taking his goal tally to three for the season. This goal not only extended Monaco’s lead but also highlighted Frédéric’s vision and contribution to the team’s attack. Ajaccio, despite their defensive efforts, found it difficult to break down Monaco’s backline. The hosts’ organization and pressing were solid, and their ability to recover quickly after losing the ball was key to controlling the game. However, the visitors’ persistence paid off in the 65th minute when they pulled one back through a well-taken goal. Despite the goal, Monaco’s momentum was not halted, and they responded with a third goal just five minutes later. It was Disasi who got the goal this time, rising highest to meet a cross from the right flank. Disasi’s goal, coupled with his tireless work rate and defensive contributions, was a crucial factor in Monaco’s victory. His ability to cover ground and intercept passes was instrumental in breaking down Ajaccio’s attacks. Despite the final scoreline of 3-1 in favor of Monaco, the match was a rollercoaster ride that showcased the quality of both teams. Ajaccio can take pride in their performance, but Monaco will be happy with the three points and their continued push for a top-four finish. As the final whistle blew, Monaco celebrated a well-deserved victory. The win extends their unbeaten streak and keeps them in contention for a successful season. With key performances from Ben Yedder, Frédéric, and Disasi, Monaco is looking like a force to be reckoned with in Ligue 1 this season. |
