Monaco Narrowly Beat Strasbourg - Ben Yedder Scores Penalty Winner to Consolidate Top Three Position
On Sunday, Monaco narrowly defeated Strasbourg in a thrilling match at the Stade Louis II in Nice. The match was full of excitement and drama as both teams put on a show for the fans.
The match started with Monaco taking the lead through a goal from their star player, Benjamin Mendy. However, Strasbourg fought back and equalized through a penalty kick by striker, Maxime Lopez.
In the second half, Monaco regained control of the game and were able to score two goals through Ben Yedder and Nabil Bentaleb. Yedder's goal was particularly important as it helped Monaco consolidate their top three position in Ligue 1.
Ben Yedder scored his first goal of the season and also added another one to his tally, which is a record high for him this season. He has now scored five goals in just six games, which is impressive considering he only played four games last season.
Strasbourg, however, still managed to secure a point in the match, thanks to a late goal from defender, Thibaut Courtois. This result means that Strasbourg will be playing against Monaco again next week in the league, which could provide them with an opportunity to catch up in the standings.
Overall, the match was a thrilling affair, and both teams gave it their all throughout the match. It was a closely contested game that went down to the wire, but Monaco emerged victorious thanks to their strong attacking play and Ben Yedder's hat-trick.
