On Saturday evening, Monaco faced off against Clermont in a thrilling match that saw the home side triumph with a solid defense and Frédéric's winning goal.

The game started with Monaco controlling the majority of possession, but it was Clermont who took the lead in the 14th minute when a mistake from the home team allowed them to score. However, Monaco refused to give up and quickly responded with a goal of their own in the 28th minute through a header by Benjamin Mendy.

Despite the early setback, Monaco continued to dominate the match and created numerous chances for themselves. In the 65th minute, they finally broke through thanks to a brilliant move involving Benjamin Mendy, Bernardo Silva and Kylian Mbappé. Mendy found Mbappé on the edge of the box and he hit a shot that deflected off the crossbar before finding Mendy at the far post to head into the back of the net.

The victory was a big boost for Monaco as they continue to fight for a top-four finish in Ligue 1. The win also marks the first time since August that Monaco has scored three goals in a single game.

Frédéric, who has been in fine form this season, played a crucial role in the victory. His goal in the 79th minute proved to be the difference between the two teams and gave Monaco the win they needed.

Overall, Monaco showed why they are one of the strongest teams in Ligue 1 with their solid defense and consistent attacking play. They will now look to build on this victory as they aim to secure a spot in Europe next season.
