Monaco Beats Montpellier 2-1; Disasi Scores Header Winner, Securing Key 3 Points Away

On Sunday night in the Ligue 1 match between Monaco and Montpellier, the home side emerged victorious with a 2-1 win that was capped off by a header winner from Moussa Diakhaby.

The game started brightly for Monaco as they took control of the midfield, but it was Montpellier who took the lead through a well-taken goal from Domenico Berardi in the 26th minute. The visitors had the chance to extend their lead before half-time, but a goalkeeping error allowed Monaco to equalize just before the break.

In the second half, Monaco regained the upper hand and were rewarded when Moussa Diakhaby scored his first goal for the club in the 54th minute. The Frenchman found space on the right-hand side of the box and fired home a powerful shot that beat Montpellier's goalkeeper.

Montpellier tried to mount a comeback in the closing stages, but Monaco held firm and secured all three points away from home. It was a crucial result for Monaco, who now sit in third place in the league table.

Moussa Diakhaby was named the matchwinner after scoring the winner for Monaco, and he received high praise from his teammates for his performance. He said: "It was a great day for us. We fought hard and got the result we needed."

For Montpellier, it was a disappointing loss that could have had a significant impact on their chances of qualifying for next season's Europa League. They will be hoping to bounce back in their next match against Strasbourg on Wednesday night.
