The AS Monaco team lost to Nice, 0-1, in the dying seconds of a very close game in which they had two penalties to go ahead. José Da Costa, the 2000 French Champion, kicked off the game, and it got off to a great start. Sofiane Diop stood out right away against his previous side, but Philipp Köhn easily stopped his effort (3′). During a Monegasque counterattack, Aleksandr Golovin won a penalty that Folarin Balogun attempted but was unluckily denied by Marcin Bulka (12′).
Gatan Laborde's header from the right side of the box was on target, and Philipp Köhn was once again called upon to stop it. He does it without thinking twice (22′). The next to try his luck from a distance was Youssouf Fofana, although he only just missed (23′)! The action was moving at 100 mph when Philipp Köhn stopped a header that Sofiane Diop attempted in the third minute
