On Tuesday evening, the first "Coupe de la Ligue" quarter-final was played, where "Nice" welcomed "Monaco" at home. The match was truly intense, as evidenced by the statistics.
The fans gathered at the stadium did not have to wait long for goals - Thomas Lemar took advantage of Balde Keita's pass in the third minute and put the visitors ahead, demonstrating that his move to the Premier League was not in vain.
However, Monaco's lead did not last long, as Mario Balotelli, who was absent, was effectively replaced by Alassane Plea who equalized the score. This sniper accurately struck before the end of the first half.
The score changed again before halftime, as Keita made another productive pass - immediately after that, Adama Diakhaby scored a goal.
This strike, as it turned out later, was decisive, as neither team managed to score in the second half of the match. "Nice" can now focus on the "Ligue 1" championship, where they are already showing signs of recovery, while "Monaco" will find out their opponents in the semifinals tomorrow.
Result:
"Nice" 1 - 2 "Monaco" [0-1] 3' Thomas Lemar [1-1] 18' Alassane Plea [1-2] 37' Adama Diakhaby
