His limpid volley of right changed the game (1-0, 61st).
Amiens, who had already left his chance when Benjamin Lecomte came out perfectly an attempt by Gael Kakuta against (51), then had to discover.
Monaco took the opportunity. First, on free-kick: defender Guillermo Maripan taking over a center Aleksandr Golovin (2-0, 67th).
Then against, following the awakening of Baldé. The Senegalese, in fox perfectly followed the exit of the goalkeeper Regis Gurtner in Ben Yedder's feet, and sealed the victory of Azureens (3-0, 70th), who will move Saturday in Angers with the will to achieve the pass of three.
