On Saturday night, Monaco secured their first win in Ligue 1 this season with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Montpellier at the Stade Louis II. The match was a closely contested affair from start to finish, with both teams creating chances throughout.
In the first half, it looked like Monaco were on the verge of securing all three points when they took the lead through a goal from Rony Lopes in the 57th minute. However, Montpellier fought back and equalised just before the hour mark through a penalty from Florian Thauvin.
The second half saw both sides pushing for the winner, but it wasn't until the final minutes that Monaco found themselves ahead again thanks to a well-taken goal from Bernardo Silva. The win means that Monaco have now won two games in a row and is a significant boost to their campaign so far.
Montpellier, on the other hand, secured a crucial away point against a strong Monaco side. They will be hoping to build on this result as they look to secure a top-half finish in the league.
Overall, it was a tough game between two competitive sides, and it's clear that both teams are evenly matched. With a busy schedule coming up, it remains to be seen how this fixture will play out.
