A great start, to a hopefully great season!

Monaco 1 – Nenê(44)
Toulouse 0 –

So this night the season began for Lés Monegasques. And it began greatly! We put on a great offensive display despite not having a really great goalscorer, and we fought greatly, when we were reduced to ten men with fifteen minutes to go. The offense dominated the game and caused the Toulouse defense a lot of trouble. We had Nenê and Pino on the wings, and up front we had Bakar and Park. Those four was very dangerous and each had their chance to score. But even though we had a lot chances, it was first in the 44th minute that we scored. It was Nenê who scored. It was from a great pass from Park, that put Nenê alone in front of the goal with Toulouse keeper Blondel, and he had no chance of saving it when Nenê placed the ball beautifully into the top of the net. After the half we kept on creating chances and it was really a joy to watch such nice football from us. but in the 75th minute Diego Perez got a red card, and suddenly we were forced to pull out a striker and put in a new defender. That led to that Bakaer had to leave the field for Thomas Mangani. After that the offensive display from Monaco stopped. Toulouse started putting the pressure on, but Monaco kept on and helt onto the lead! That was after some beautiful rescues from keeper Stéphane Ruffier. Then it was all over, and we could leave Stade Louis ll with a result to be proud of. Hopefully we can keep on playing like this, when we next take on AS Nancy who won this evening 3-1 over Valenciennes. That was it for this time! See you

  and you finally got someone else, sadly not un vrai buteur, but a Brazilian international isn’t bad.
