In a thrilling match that saw Monaco and Nantes clash in the Ligue 1 round two, it was Monaco who emerged victorious, 3-2. The game started off with both teams playing aggressively, but it was Monaco who took the lead early on through a well-taken goal from Benjamin Mendy. However, Nantes refused to give up easily and responded by scoring two goals in quick succession, one from Benjamin Bourigeaud and another from Adama Traore.
Despite being behind, Monaco never gave up and continued to press for an equalizer. And finally, they were rewarded when Edinson Cavani scored his first goal of the season, giving Monaco a narrow 2-2 draw at half-time.
The second half saw Monaco dominate possession and create several chances, but it was Nantes who managed to score twice more, with Moussa Dembélé and Jean-Kévin Augustin finding the back of the net. In the end, Monaco's determination paid off as they scored their third goal late on through Benjamin Mendy, securing all three points and leaving Nantes with just one point from their opening two games.
This win is particularly significant for Monaco, who have struggled in recent seasons. It also marks the return of star striker Edinson Cavani after he missed most of last season due to injury. With this victory under their belt, Monaco will be looking to build on their momentum going forward and secure a top-four finish in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Nantes will need to regroup quickly if they hope to compete for promotion to Ligue 2 next season.
