The jewel of Aleksandr Golovin, Nicolas Pallois who sees red or even the decisive entry of Sofiane Diop: find the tops and flops of the writing at the end of the multiplex of the 14e L1 day.
Tops
The jewel of Alexander Golovin
He put AS Monaco on the right track. While Téfécé had resisted admirably in the first half, Aleksandr Golovin made the difference just after returning from the locker room. Inheriting the ball following a strike from Mohamed Camara repelled by the Toulouse defense, the Russian made a splendid curling shot with the right foot which came to lodge in the left skylight of Maxime Dupé. A real gem that allowed the Rock club to take the lead… and win (0-2).
Sofiane Diop, decisive entry
This is called “winning coaching”. Launched by Lucien Favre at the break, Sofiane Diop unblocked the situation shortly after coming into play.e minute of play, served on the left side, the attacking midfielder of the Aiglons returned on his right foot to unleash a powerful strike with the right foot. His attempt – involuntarily deflected by Gaëtan Laborde – surprised the entire Brest defense and ended up in the back of the net. A goal – attributed to his teammate – who offered the three points to his team (1-0).

Flops
Nicolas Pallois sees red
Despite his thirty-five years, Nicolas Pallois clearly lacked experience this Sunday afternoon against Stade de Reims. After receiving a first warning in the first half for protest, the defender of the Canaries was guilty of an anti-play foul on Folarin Balogun after the break which earned him a second yellow card, synonymous with exclusion. Outnumbered, FC Nantes cracked late in the game, conceding a penalty (1-0). A detrimental red card for Antoine Kombouaré and his men.
Clermont misses the mark
Clermont Foot 63 had the opportunities to win (1-1) but clearly missed the mark. Indeed, after having conceded the opener from the penalty spot – converted by Téji Savanier – the Auvergnats had the opportunity to come back to score on the same exercise in the first half; but Komnen Andric saw his attempt being captured by Bingourou Kamara. In the last quarter of an hour of play, after having equalized through the Serbian striker, the Clermontois obtained another penalty, synonymous (almost) with match point. This time it was Grejohn Kyei who did it. The French chose to strike hard but his shot came crashing down on the crossbar. Too bad for Clermont.
