(Ligue 1 2024/2025): Highlights AS MONACO - RC LENS

Nine wins from their last 10 matches in Ligue 1. Monaco look to continue their perfect start to the season. Blondes have also won their opening two and look to put behind them the disappointment of crashing out of the UEFA Conference League in midweek. Two wins from two so far this season for Will Still and his men. This was surely to be his toughest assignment so far. The game's first big chance came just after the half hour mark. A big chance falling at the feet of Adrian Thomasson who wrapped his shot against the post and the follow-up from Wesley Said also coming back off the frame of the goal. This was a real let-off for Monaco. Great approach play. Looked in all the way from Thomasson and when he managed to retrieve it and cross it back in, it was perhaps an easier chance for Wesley Said to put into the back of the net. But somehow he could only steer it against the upright. Monaco an hour to create their first real chance. Turned around the corner from Magnus Eklios and the USA international Fullerin Balogun was denied by a good save by Bryce Samba. Balogun still looking for that first goal of the season. Big chance at the other end for Launce. Satuka through. Philip Korn came out, narrowed the angle and made a very good save. Big chance for Satuka, racing clear of the Monaco defence. Perhaps not the kindest of angles. Goalkeeper did very well. Monaco not at their best. Found themselves up against it once again. Launce coming forward and another really good opportunity inside the box. They thought they'd scored but Remy Labiot saw his goal rolled out. After a long hard look at the monitor, referee Willy Dillijod ruled the goal out because of handball. Will Stills' bad luck was just about to get a lot worse. Just six minutes to go. Enrique's corner. Powered home, fired a head up from the Swiss international Denis Zakaria. His goal looked almost certain to bring home another three points for Monaco. Peeling clear of his marker and steering his head up out of the reach of Bryce Samba. But the visitors had other ideas. This time the luck was to favour Launce. This was to prove to be another big topic of conversation for VAR. And the referee once again consulted his monitor. A handball in favour of Launce this time. And from the spot Przemyslaw Frankowski. Made no mistake with an equalising goal three minutes into stoppage time. Just out of the reach of the goalkeeper Philip Kohn. And a very good point away from home for Will Stills' men.
