Ben Yedder who acted as executioner did not waste the opportunity to bring the visitors ahead. His right leg kick can fool goalkeeper Baptiste Reynet.
While a penalty for Toulouse was created in the 37th minute after Alain Gradel was considered an offense by touching the foot of the Ballo Traore foot. Yaya Sanogo who advanced as executor managed to convert them into goals.
Six minutes ahead of dispersal, Gelson Martins, became a hero for Monaco after his kick in front of goal made a score of 2-1 to excel the visitors. Monaco’s superiority over Toulouse remained until the long whistle sounded.
