AS Monaco secured a resounding 7-1 victory against FC Nantes on Matchday 22 of Ligue 1. After a challenging start, the Monégasques took advantage of their numerical superiority to take control of the match and cruise to an emphatic win, highlighted by a hat-trick from Mika Biereth.
While Biereth stole the spotlight with his performance, Eliesse Ben Seghir also played a crucial role. Returning to the starting lineup after several games without a start, the young Moroccan forward showcased his full potential. Dynamic and technically skilled, he proved to be a real asset for his team, using his dribbling ability and intelligent runs to trouble the Nantes defense. He tested Lopes as early as the 14th minute and was involved in several key chances for Monaco, including a decisive play late in the first half when he set up Akliouche, who narrowly missed the target (37’).
In the 49th minute, Ben Seghir finally found the back of the net. Well set up by Takumi Minamino, who played him through, the Moroccan made no mistake, slotting a clean strike past Lopes to give Monaco a 3-1 lead. Though he occasionally overlooked Henrique, Ben Seghir remained consistent in his efforts, providing attacking solutions through his movement and link-up play. Following this solid performance, he continues to cement his place in Monaco’s squad.
