# Monaco Thrashes Montpellier 3-0, Disasi and Ben Yedder Shine in Victory
Monaco delivered a commanding performance in their Ligue 1 clash against Montpellier, securing a 3-0 victory that showcased the team's strength and depth. The match, held at Stade Louis II, was a dominant display from the reigning champions, who outclassed their opponents with clinical efficiency and tactical precision.
The first half was decisive, with Monaco taking the lead through a well-timed counter-attack. Montpellier's defense, already under pressure, fell apart in the 15th minute when Kevin Vardy capitalized on a defensive error to slot home. Monaco's second goal came just before halftime, as a perfectly timed through ball found the unmarked Cesc Fabbri, who slid in to finish with a composed effort.
Montpellier, despite their early struggles, regrouped at halftime. But their efforts to recover were futile as Monaco continued to dictate play. The hosts' defense stood firm, absorbing pressure and countering with pace. The third goal came in the 67th minute, a moment of brilliance from Keitan Disasi, who collected the ball on the edge of the box, stepped up, and fired a powerful shot into the top corner.
Disasi, who has been a standout performer this season, also played a pivotal role in the defensive midfield, breaking up plays and interjecting Montpellier's attacks. His goal was a testament to his attacking intent and technical ability. Meanwhile, Montpellier's Ben Yedder, who was substituted in the second half, also played a part in the goal that preceded Disasi's strike, showcasing his influence on the game.
Head coach Aurélien Tissot will be proud of his team's overall performance, especially given the absence of key players like Alexander Isak and Sofiane Diop, who were rested due to minor injuries. The victory extends Monaco's unbeaten run and cements their position at the top of the table, further solidifying their status as serious contenders for the title.
This win sends a strong message to the rest of the league that Monaco are here to stay, and their ability to adapt to different oppositions and maintain high intensity throughout the match is a credit to the players and the coaching staff. As the season progresses, Monaco will look to build on this performance and continue their quest for glory.
