Wissam Ben Yedder's brace lifted AS Monaco to win in their last game of 2023 against Toulouse, despite falling down early and being reduced to 10 men in the second half. With Adi Hutter missing a slew of important players due to injury or suspension, his club got off to a shaky start, as Toulouse placed Les Monegasques on the back foot in just five minutes, thanks to Frank Magri's goal. Following that, Hutter's troops found their footing and dominated possession.
The away team was subsequently rewarded for their improved performance as Ben Yedder leveled the score by capitalizing on Christian Mawissa's error. Monaco maintained their strong momentum and seized the lead just before halftime, with Ben Yedder calmly tapping home a penalty after Folarin Balogun had won the spot-kick. In the 51st minute, Aleksandr Golovin’s red card reduced the side to a 10-man team but they held on to their lead.
