5 – 4
“Ansu Fati finished to make it 1-3 just before the break, with Lamine Camara having already netted twice. Monaco heading into the tunnel with a commanding lead looked set to kill the tie.”
Pivotal“Sebastian Nanasi reduced the deficit to 3-4 with a sharp finish, just two minutes after Diego Moreira had pulled one back — suddenly Strasbourg had scored twice in three minutes and the stadium was alive again.”
Pivotal“Nanasi struck again to level at 4-4, completing a stunning three-goal comeback from 1-4 down and turning the tie completely on its head — this was the moment Monaco's collapse became complete.”
Pivotal“Martial Godo, who had already scored in the first half to make it 1-1, fired home his second of the night to give Strasbourg an extraordinary 5-4 lead they would not relinquish.”

Outstanding performance
Monaco•MidfielderMonaco arrived at Strasbourg looking every inch the superior side, controlling 60% of possession and generating 21 shots, and by the 55th minute they had built what seemed like an unassailable 1-4 lead courtesy of Lamine Camara's brace, an Ansu Fati strike and an Ismaël Doukouré own goal. Yet Strasbourg, who spent much of the match chasing shadows in their own half, found a second wind that defied all logic. Diego Moreira pulled one back immediately, then Sebastian Nanasi produced a moment of individual brilliance to score twice in eleven minutes, turning a hopeless situation into a breathless 4-4 draw — before Martial Godo, who had opened Strasbourg's account in the first half, stabbed home the winner in the 84th minute to send the Alsatian side into raptures. The result is a lifeline for Strasbourg in what appears to be a relegation battle — sitting 16th before kick-off, these three points could prove pivotal — while Monaco's defensive collapse in the second half will be a serious concern heading into the final weeks of the campaign.
