Monaco's narrow victory over Strasbourg on Sunday evening has put them firmly in the hunt for a top-three finish in Ligue 1 this season. The match saw Monaco come from behind to secure all three points thanks to a penalty kick goal scored by substitute Ben Yedder.
The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating numerous chances throughout the game. However, it was Monaco who eventually broke the deadlock in the 84th minute when Yedder slotted home from the spot after being brought down by defender Jérémy Mathieu.
Strasbourg were unable to respond and the final whistle came too soon, leaving Monaco to celebrate their first win of the season at the Stade Louis II stadium. It is now up to Monaco to maintain their momentum and push for a top-three finish, with a tough away trip to Paris Saint-Germain coming up next week.
Despite the narrow victory, Monaco have already secured a place in the Champions League play-offs, thanks to their strong performance in the domestic league so far. They will be looking to continue their winning ways in the competition as they aim to qualify for the group stage next season.
Overall, it was a solid performance from Monaco against Strasbourg, with Yedder scoring a crucial penalty kick to secure all three points. With the team still in contention for a top-three finish, there is plenty of excitement ahead for fans of the club.
