Monaco's dominance in Ligue 1 continued as they defeated Rennes 2-1 at Stade Louis II on Saturday evening. The victory was all the more impressive given that Monaco had to come from behind and fight back against Rennes, who were playing with a man advantage due to a red card early in the match.
The match started off with both teams trying to take control of the game. However, it was Monaco who took the lead in the 28th minute when they scored through a penalty kick by Anthony Lopes. Despite Rennes' best efforts to equalize, Monaco managed to hold on and extend their lead with another goal in the 59th minute, this time courtesy of Benjamin Mendy.
Ben Yedder, who has been in excellent form recently, scored his second goal of the season in the 64th minute to put Monaco firmly in control. The match ended 2-1 in favor of Monaco, with Rennes unable to find an equalizer despite several attempts in the closing stages.
The win was a reminder of Monaco's dominance in Ligue 1, which they have maintained since their promotion to the top flight last year. The team is led by a talented squad of players, including Ben Yedder, Mendy, and Kylian Mbappe, who has already established himself as one of the best young talents in European football.
The victory also set the stage for success for Monaco, who will now look to continue their winning ways in upcoming matches. With such a strong squad and a coach like Leonardo Jardim, Monaco is well-positioned to challenge for the title and compete at the highest level in Europe.
