After falling behind the Aiglons in an exciting contest, the Rouge et Blanc pulled off a stunning 2-1 victory at home in the Derby to go up to second place in Ligue 1. The AS Monaco players exacted revenge on OGC Nice by defeating the reverse game of the Derby in the Principality (2-1), thanks to a very strong performance. The Club moved up to second position in the Ligue 1 standings thanks to a fantastic victory that was witnessed by President Dmitry Rybolovlev, who was present at the Stade Louis-II.

Le Gym took the lead at halftime after a lucky break when Jérémie Boga eventually scored the goal with a header from a Jonathan Clauss cross. Monaco applied a lot of pressure in the second half, just as they had in the first, and it paid off when Akliouche sent a fantastic cross to Mika Biereth, who found the top corner to level the score 1-1. Later, Breel Embolo snuck his shot home flawlessly, thanks to another excellent effort from Maghnes Akliouche.
