As Monaco overcame Toulouse at home to record their first victory under new manager Sébastien Pocognoli, they at last experienced the taste of winning again. Monaco got back to winning ways following five games in which they failed to dominate all competitions, including four straight draws. Mohammed Salisu's effort at the start of the competition was the sole goal of the evening. In front of President Dmitry Rybolovlev and Prince Albert II, the new Monaco coach eventually achieved his first win on royal territory.
After just three minutes of play, the Ghanaian defender scored with a winning header on a free kick that Kassoum Ouattara had taken. Paul Pogba's teammates, who were in the stands and delighted by this first goal, had the ideal start. With just one attempt on goal in the first half, the Téfécé failed to intimidate their opponent, and this goal was a blow to their spirits.
