Monaco’s struggles continues with shocking loss to Angers

AS Monaco’s aspirations for the French Ligue 1 title took a hit on Friday, as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to relegation-threatened Angers.

This marks Monaco’s second straight loss, following a 2-1 derby defeat to Nice and a goalless draw with Lille.

Jean-Eudes Aholou’s remarkable strike in the 29th minute secured the victory for Angers, propelling them to a consecutive win streak and lifting their spirits amidst a challenging season.

Meanwhile, Monaco faces the risk of dropping from second place, with both Marseille and Lille within striking distance in the table.

As Monaco prepares for a crucial Champions League match against Bologna on Tuesday, Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain remain three points clear at the top and could widen the gap further when they face Lens on Saturday.

Their 4-2 win over Saint Etienne last week was their first of the season after they had drawn four and lost four of their opening eight games.
