Late Goal Secures Three Points

AS Monaco pulled off a stunning comeback victory against Angers SCO in their Ligue 1 encounter, snatching a 2-1 win in the dying minutes of the match. Monaco, who trailed for most of the game, showed remarkable resilience to secure the crucial three points.

Angers took the lead in the 25th minute through a penalty converted by Sofiane Boufal. Monaco dominated possession and created several chances but struggled to find an equalizer. Sofiane Diop came close on multiple occasions, but his efforts were denied by the Angers goalkeeper, Paul Bernardoni.

In the second half, Monaco continued to press forward, but Angers defended resolutely. With time running out, the match seemed destined for a draw. However, in a dramatic turn of events, Wissam Ben Yedder equalized for Monaco in the 88th minute with a clinical finish from close range.

As the clock ticked down, Monaco poured forward in search of a winner. In the dying seconds of the match, Maghnes Akliouche provided a brilliant cross from the left flank which was met by Myron Boadu, who headed the ball into the net to secure a dramatic victory for Monaco.

The win was a massive boost for Monaco's hopes of qualifying for European competition. They moved up to seventh place in the Ligue 1 standings, just three points behind fifth-placed Lens. Angers, on the other hand, remain in the relegation zone and will need to improve their form if they are to avoid the drop.
