A penalty won ⛳
Elusive on the attacking front, the #MadeInLaDiagonale playmaker then played to provoke an indisputable penalty against the visitors’ defence, which Mohamed Camara converted (3-0, 24′). But Eliesse was not satisfied, and on a new foray into the opposing camp, he picked out Folarin Balogun, who unfortunately could only hit the base of the post (27′).
Before a top-drawer finish 🌪️
Full of action, activity (6 fouls suffered, 3 recoveries made, 2 crosses, 1 key pass), he would be rewarded on the scoreboard at the hour mark. As he again he got forward against the Nantes defence, our number 7 Monegasque pretended to double back, before turning his opposite number and curling the ball perfectly into the opposite corner (4-0, 61st)! It was a sublime goal, which completed a high-level performance.
