Ben Seghir expressed his delight at the team’s performance, highlighting their defensive strength.
The match saw Lyon struggle early on as Ernest Nuamah suffered an injury and was replaced. Monaco’s Takumi Minamino had a notable chance in the first half, but Lyon’s goalkeeper Lucas Perri made a crucial save. Despite Lyon’s efforts, Monaco continued to dominate in the second half, with Ben Seghir and Akliouche eventually breaking the deadlock. Camara sealed the victory with a goal in the 80th minute.
Monaco’s dominance led to several missed opportunities, including a chance for Akliouche. The match ended on a sour note for Monaco as Camara received a red card for a late challenge. In other fixtures, Lille faced Angers, and Saint-Etienne played against Le Havre at Le Chaudron stadium.
