MONACO — In a stunning showcase of skill, Angers secured a 1-0 victory over Monaco in Ligue 1 on Friday, thanks to an extraordinary goal from Jean-Eudes Aholou in the first half. This triumph marks a significant turnaround for Angers, who have managed to find their footing after a long winless streak.

Prior to this match, Angers had gone 11 games without a victory dating back to July. However, with this win, they have now claimed two consecutive victories for the first time since May, pushing them up to 14th place in the 18-team league standings.

On the other hand, Monaco is facing challenges of their own, with their recent performance reflecting a downturn. After enjoying a 12-game unbeaten streak from early August to late October, they have now succumbed to two defeats in a row.

Missing several key players due to injuries, Monaco struggled to regain their usual form. The highlight of the match came in the 29th minute when Aholou seized an opportunity to shine. He received a short pass from Jim Allevinah and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot that left goalkeeper Radoslaw Majecki utterly helpless.

This win not only boosts Angers’ morale but also signifies a critical moment in their season, showcasing their potential to climb higher in the league. Meanwhile, Monaco will need to regroup quickly if they hope to return to their previous successful streak.
