On the evening, the French championship started with a match between "Monaco" and "Toulouse".
The defending champions, coached by Leonardo Jardim, started the game actively from the first minutes, and the young talent Kylian Mbappe had a great chance to score right away. However, he failed, and a few moments later the opponent's goalkeeper Zinedine Machach sent the ball into the goal.
After continued dominance in terms of ball control and a few dangerous attacks, the defender Jemerson equalized the score for "Monaco" by heading in a pass from Joao Moutinho from a corner kick. The scoreboard showed a tie after the first half.
Later, the situation on the field remained unchanged, but both teams had chances, and Andy Delort even managed to bring "Toulouse" ahead again with a great shot from outside the penalty area.
After this rollercoaster, it was time to mention one of the main stars of the champions, Radamel Falcao, who, like his teammate, scored a goal with his head.
Finally, the 70th minute proved crucial, as Fabinho earned a penalty kick, which was taken by the aforementioned Moutinho. He made another assist, and this time it was utilized by another central defender, Kamil Glik.
At the final whistle, it was clear that the Polish strike was decisive, and "Monaco" celebrated a hard-fought victory with a score of 3-2. This did not spoil the debut of newcomer Yuri Tielemans - in the 87th minute, he joined his team's leading players on the field.
