20 Minutes

RC Lens and Monaco met at the Louis II stadium for the 15th day of Ligue 1. With a final result of 3-0, the runner-up in the last edition of Ligue 2 won this confrontation.

Michelin will have marked this meeting, because of his two assists.

If Haise's starting 11 was placed in 3-4-3, with Banza and Ganago in attack to start the meeting, Kovac asked his Monegasque team to position themselves in classic 4-4-2, with in attack Volland and Ben Yedder.

Sylla gave his team a good start to the first half.

From the first minute of play and on a service from Michelin, he deceived the vigilance of the goalkeeper of the Monaco club.

Then, the Lensois increased the gap on the scoreboard in the 33rd, thanks to Banza, on a service from Michelin.

From the 40th and on a pass from Fofana, Kakuta scored the last goal of the match.

The second half thus took place without further conclusive action.

This game was tense, with several caveats.

A yellow card was distributed to Gradit, as well as to Doucouré, Pellegri, Mauricio and Banza.

Monaco fell to 10 in the 23rd, after Disasi was sent back to the locker room.

Rising 2 places, RC Lens moved to 7th position in the provisional classification, ahead of Monaco.

The Monegasque players suffered a defeat and, losing 2 places, the club fell to 8th place in the provisional ranking.
