A match started in the 16th round of Ligue 1. Monaco faced Lyon at home. Monaco has performed well, with 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the first 15 league games, scoring 30 points and ranking third. They are in the first group of championship contenders, not far behind Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the list. The results of Lyon, the 7th French Ligue 1 champion, can be said to be abysmal. In the first 15 league games, they only won 2 games, lost 9 games, and drew 4 games. They only scored 10 points and ranked last. It is really difficult. Confidence. Facing Lyon in this state, Monaco's goal is naturally to score all 3 points. As a result, I didn't expect Monaco to lose and be defeated!
Monaco has a 3421 formation. Balogun is at the front. Minamino Takumi and Akliush team up to attack. Diatta, Fofana, Kamara and Jacobs partnered in the midfield. The three defenders of Xingo, Zakaria and Salisu started the game. Kuhn serves as the starting goalkeeper. Lyon sent an offensive combination of Lacazette, Cherky and Nuwama.
In the 10th minute of the game, Mata's free kick went directly to the goal and went high. Three minutes later, Nuwama passed the goalkeeper and scored the ball, but because it was offside, the goal was invalid. Afterwards, Mata got another free kick opportunity, but he still kicked it high. Lacazette's long shot was confiscated by the goalkeeper. Balogun's close shot was saved by the goalkeeper. I thought the game would end 0-0. Unexpectedly, in the 85th minute, a goal appeared! Niles sent an assist, and Gerfinho outflanked and pushed the ball in the middle of the penalty area to complete the victory! Monaco collapsed! In the end, Monaco lost to the bottom team Lyon 0-1, causing a big upset.
Monaco had 59% of the ball in this game and shot 19 times, but only 4 of them were on target and failed to score. Lyon only took 5 shots in total and scored 1 goal. What an incredible result. Balogun himself had 5 shots, equivalent to the number of shots taken by the entire Lyon team, but failed to score a single goal. Minamino Takumi had 2 shots, but none of them were on target. There is no doubt that Gerfinho, who came on as a substitute, was the best player in the game. He only played for 14 minutes and scored a goal with his only shot! This goal is worth thousands of dollars. It’s so important for Lyon’s road to relegation!
