Monaco secured their second victory of the season with a 2-1 win over Reims in Ligue 1 on Saturday afternoon. The match was played at Stade Louis-II, which is also known as the Stade de France.
The first half was a close affair between the two teams, but Monaco eventually took the lead through a goal from forward Benjamin Yedder. The French striker scored his first goal for the club since January 2018, and it proved to be the game-changer.
Reims tried to get back into the game in the second half, but Monaco's defense held firm and they were able to hold out for the full 90 minutes. The visitors managed to score twice more, with goals coming from midfielder Frédéric Sélleguérès and defender Mathieu Debuchy.
Despite the loss, Reims will take heart from their performance, especially given that they had a man sent off early on. They will now look to bounce back next weekend when they host Lyon.
Overall, Monaco's victory was a well-deserved result after a hard-fought match against a strong Reims side. It shows that the team has the quality to compete in the top tier of European football and could go on to have a good campaign this season.
