In the recent Ligue 1 match between Ajaccio and Monaco at the Stade François Coty, Monaco managed to win 2-0 thanks to goals from W. Ben Yedder and K. Diatta. At the beginning of the match Ajaccio got two yellow cards in a row: I. Belailly and I. Diallo were cautioned during the first 14 minutes. However, Ajaccio decided to replace Diallo with M. Alphonse after just three minutes. Despite early pressure from Ajaccio, Monaco scored first when Ben Yedder struck his opponent's goal in the 27th minute. Both teams continued to play physically, with Monaco's G. Maripane receiving a yellow card in the 49th minute.
Ajaccio's luck took a turn for the worse in the 53rd minute when C. Baiala received a red card, leaving the team with ten men. Ajaccio responded by replacing Belaya with F. Mayembo in the 61st minute. Monaco, on the other hand, decided to make several substitutions in the second half. First, E. Ben Segir was replaced by K. Diatta in the 70th minute. Then, in the 77th minute, Ben Yedder made way for T. Minamino. In the final minutes, Monaco sealed the victory with a goal by Diatta in the 84th minute, and Ajaccio made a flurry of substitutions, releasing M. Sumano, M. El Idrissi and M. Youssef in the 72nd minute. Despite several yellow cards and a red card, the match went relatively cleanly, without any major controversy, and Monaco deservedly took all three points.
