Monaco will remain on the podium at the end of the 14th day of Ligue 1. Nine days after its heavy defeat against PSG (5-2), ASM came away with a success against Montpellier (2-0). At the Francis-Le Blé stadium, Brest followed up with a second victory in a row against Clermont (3-0). Finally, Toulouse and Lorient left back to back (1-1).
The right move: Monaco remains third and gets closer to Nice
Monaco can breathe. The scenario which would see Lille – which has hosted Metz since 5 p.m. – pass in front of the Monegasques has been ruled out. This Sunday, Adi Hütter's men got the better of Montpellier (2-0) thanks to goals from Takumi Minamino and Wissam Ben Yedder.
The Japanese took advantage of Vanderson's shot, released by Benjamin Lecomte, to open the scoring. The Japanese international has five goals in the Championship this season. If ASM already had eight shots and five on target after 30 minutes, their lack of defensive control gave them a cold sweat. Fortunately for Folarin Balogun and his family, the clumsiness of Akor Adams (30th) and the excess of altruism of Wahbi Khazri (33rd) penalized the Montpellier residents. Especially since the illegal intervention of Boubakar Kouyaté earned the defender an expulsion (69th).
At the end of the match, Wissam Ben Yedder, who entered during the match, sealed the match with a powerful strike (2-0, 90th + 3). Monaco pockets three precious points and returns to a unit from Nice, defeated on Saturday by Nantes (1-0).

The player: Romain Del Castillo sees double
If you watched Brest-Clermont, the architect of Brest's success (3-0) is obvious. His name is Romain Del Castillo. At the start of the match, he calmly took Mory Diaw on the wrong foot on a penalty (1-0, 20th). An exercise in which he is infallible in Ligue 1 with nine successes in as many attempts. It was also number 10 who initiated a decisive action on the right side which then resulted in Mathias Pereira Lage's gem (2-0, 34th).
Returning from the locker room, Del Castillo performed a little trick to get onto his left foot and scored twice with a low strike (3-0, 51st). A week after its victory against Montpellier (3-1), Brest confirms and moves up to 7th place.
The series: Thijs Dallinga scores again at the Stadium
In this poorly ranked duel between Toulouse (15th) and Lorient (16th), Téfécé has long believed it had the last word. However, Toulouse had to share the points with Lorient (1-1). Despite this disappointing result, Dutch neo-international Thijs Dallinga continues to score in front of his home crowd. For the fourth time in a row in Ligue 1, the striker scored a goal at home. On a worked cross from Suazo, the former Rotterdam player placed a clear header which nestled under the bar (1-0, 72nd). In added time, Bamba Dieng scored his first goal of the season and allowed Merlus to leave with a draw.
Toulouse grabs a place (14th), Lorient remains stuck in 16th place, two points ahead of Clermont, 17th.
