AS Monaco faced a tough challenge but ultimately overcame AS Saint-Etienne with a 2-1 victory. The Principality’s team had to depend on midfielder Lucas Ocampos to secure the three points in the match, with the young Argentinian netting the decisive goal in the 87th minute.
Earlier in the game, Belgian player Ferreira-Carrasco opened the scoring for the Rocher club, only to see Romain Hamouma, the leading goal-scorer for the Greens at the beginning of the season with 4 goals, equalize.
The late contribution from Ocampos solidified Monaco’s win. Despite Saint-Etienne’s struggles, Monaco maintains its leading position, setting the stage for an exciting clash on the 9th matchday between Marseille and PSG on Sunday.
