In a thrilling match, Monaco defeated Nantes in the Coupe de France final on Sunday night.
The match was played at the Stade Vélodrome in Paris, and it featured two very different teams: Monaco, which is currently leading the French league table, while Nantes, who has struggled to get off to a good start this season, were trying to bounce back from their disappointing performance against Lyon earlier in the week.
The match started with a strong display by Monaco, who managed to dominate possession throughout the game. They scored first in the 22nd minute through a stunning goal from Alphonse Areola, who had received a beautiful pass from Antoine Griezmann. The goal was followed by another goal from Didier Drogba, who scored in the 55th minute.
Nantes responded quickly in the second half, however, as they fought back to level the score in the 74th minute through a header from Jérémy Boga. This goal was followed by a goal from Yann M'Bamfane, who scored in the 81st minute.
Both teams were looking for a winner in the last few minutes of the match, but it was not to be. In the 92nd minute, Monaco scored a late equalizer through a powerful strike from Jean-Michel Aulas, who had been given a penalty kick after Nantes' goalkeeper had saved the previous attempt.
Despite the defeat, Monaco's victory over Nantes will certainly be remembered as one of the most exciting matches of the season so far. The team's resilience and determination have paid off again, and they will undoubtedly be looking forward to the next match in the Coupe de France.
