Monaco's victory over Reims in the Ligue 1 round 9 was a thrilling encounter that saw Monaco take all three points from the game. The match started with Monaco pressing forward, looking to create chances for their forwards who were eager to score.
However, it wasn't until the second half when Monaco found their breakthrough. A free-kick from Benjamin Mendy set up a cross into the box, which was met by French international Karim Benzema. However, his header went wide of the post, but just as quickly, Monaco's Ben Yedder pounced on the rebound and slotted home to give Monaco the lead.
The goal gave Monaco a much-needed boost and they continued to press forward, putting pressure on Reims' defence. In the 76th minute, Monaco's Frédéric, who had been playing well throughout the match, made it 2-0 to Monaco. He received a through ball from Yedder and calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper to make it 2-0.
Reims fought back in the final minutes, with a penalty awarded against Monaco for a handball in the area. However, the referee waved away the penalty claim and the match ended 2-1 in favor of Monaco. Despite the loss, Monaco showed great character and determination throughout the match, and they will be hoping to build on this performance in their next match.
