Match Recap

Jonathan Gradit's 84th-minute strike proved decisive, snatching it back for Monaco just as Lens threatened to steal a point. Paris Brunner opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, but Matthieu Udol dragged Lens level early in the second half, setting up a nervy finish until Gradit's late winner settled it 2-1. The result leaves Monaco second in Ligue 1 on 10 points from four games, their form reading DWWW, while Lens sit tenth with just four points and a shaky DLLW record. It's a reversal of recent history too: Monaco had won only once in their last three meetings with Lens, losing the other two, so this one broke the trend. Three goals, two changes of momentum, and a winner that arrived with six minutes of normal time left. Watch how Gradit turned it around for Monaco with that 84th-minute finish, and see the goals from Brunner and Udol that set up the late drama.
