4 – 1
“Paris Brunner opened the scoring after sustained Monaco pressure, converting a Mamadou Coulibaly assist following a corner and a flurry of blocked shots to give Monaco an early advantage.”
Pivotal“Mamadou Coulibaly turned from provider to scorer just before half-time, converting a Flavio Nazinho assist after a corner to double Monaco's lead and render the tie virtually over on aggregate.”
Pivotal“Aleksandr Golovin struck within five minutes of the restart to make it 3-0, landing a decisive blow just as Górnik had made three changes at half-time hoping to shift momentum — instead it was Monaco who struck first.”
Pivotal“Substitute Mika Biereth added Monaco's fourth goal after coming on just after the hour mark, capping a comfortable evening for the Principality club and underlining the depth at their disposal.”
“Janis Antiste — ironically a Monaco substitute — pulled one back for Górnik Zabrze to make it 4-1, providing a consolation that did nothing to alter the outcome but at least gave the Polish side something to take home.”

Outstanding performance
Monaco•MidfielderMonaco were dominant from the first whistle, controlling 67% of possession and completing 720 passes at 91% accuracy to suffocate a Górnik Zabrze side that had little hope of overturning the aggregate deficit. The Principality club scored three times before the hour mark through Paris Brunner, Mamadou Coulibaly, and Aleksandr Golovin, with the third arriving almost immediately after half-time to extinguish any lingering Górnik ambition. Monaco's manager used the occasion to rotate liberally — six substitutions were made before the 70th minute — and substitute Mika Biereth added a fourth with 12 minutes remaining to complete a comprehensive evening's work. Górnik, who required big chances to stage any sort of fight-back, wasted two of their three big opportunities and managed only a late consolation through Janis Antiste, who had himself come off the Monaco bench. The aggregate result of 7-3 reflects a tie that was effectively settled long before this second leg concluded, with Monaco advancing in authoritative fashion.
