The excellent performance of Akliouche
The young Monegasque striker, who will celebrate his 20th birthday in a few days, is very convincing for his first tenure, punctuated by a magnificent assist.
Bamba finds the wall
At the edge of the box, Bamba hits a powerful free kick. The wall against the ball, his second attempt flies over the goal.
Arokodare already in action
On his first ball, the incoming Amiens overflows on the left and crosses towards Badji, too short to regain the ball.
Double change for the ASC
Akolo and Benet are replaced by Arokodare and Lusamba.
Mendy touched
The Amiens defender suffers after Volland shot directly in his left leg.
Monaco stays high
It becomes complicated to revive for Amiens. In line with the second goal, ASM continues to push into the opposing camp, no doubt in search of the KO goal.
Pavlovic cuts Volland
The Amiens defender is in turn warned for this big mistake in the central circle.
Second change for ASM
Fofana is replaced by Matazo for the last half hour of play.
Big opportunity for Monaco
Thuram misses his intervention on a strike from Lucas. Behind, Akliouche and Volland are close to scoring in goal. ASC recovers a free kick.
Amiens no longer has a choice
As in the first period, the resident of Ligue 2 is surprised from the start. Despite an interesting performance and good intentions, it looks very complicated now.
VOLLAND’S SHOOTING!
Monaco makes the break! Superb work from Akliouche on the left, rewarded with an assist for Volland, who scored with a cross shot at close range.
It’s disjointed
Like the first act, the ball rushes from one goal to another with very little respite.
Vanderson misses the target!
Huge opportunity for the incoming Monegasque who is getting in the way of the goal of a long control. At the end of the race, he comes up against Thuram but shoots just left of the goal.
Disasi covers Mannone
The Monegasque central defender intervenes in front of Badji on a new hot ball. Mannone then picks up on the ground.
Mannone’s Parade!
Amiens recovers the ball very high. Badji takes his chance in the area of an inside right and stumbles on Mannone, who flies away perfectly!
ASM picks up strong
Clement’s men keep their foot on the ball in those first seconds. Amiens is scared at the restart.
Double change in Monaco
Matisma and Martins give way to Maripan and Vanderson for the resumption of play.
Start of the second half!
Nothing is decided yet in this quarter-final!
Half time!
In front of the scoreboard after a great start to the match and a nice goal from Tchouaméni, ASM leads by one goal at the break. But Amiens did not give up and then got several great opportunities in a fairly pleasant quarter-final.
Benet called to order
The middle of the ASC grossly hinders the progress of Fofana in the axis, which is worth a logical card.
Soon the break
Monaco still holds its advantage of a goal a few moments before half-time, despite numerous opposing attempts. Everything remains open.
Lobotey alone at the first post!
Bamba places his corner towards the first post where Lobotey cuts the trajectory of the ball. It just misses the Monegasque goal.
Volland misses his gesture
Very good tonight for his first tenure, Akliouche serves Volland in the area. The German international misses his shot, Thuram captures without problem.
Martins offside
The Portuguese winger is found in the area and does not fit his shot. He was eventually flagged offside.
Corner for Amiens
It is well struck by Benet, who seeks Pavlovic in a second time. Monaco recovers.
Lots of rhythm
Despite the many faults, downtime is rare in this first period. The two teams leave important spaces, the ball constantly navigates from one camp to another.
Tchouaméni borders on exclusion…
Author of a big fault on Benet, the Monegasque striker narrowly escapes the second yellow card, while the referee had left the advantage.
Already half an hour of play
ASM is still in the lead in this open quarter-final, even if Amiens is gaining momentum over the minutes.
Badji crosses too much!
Amiens grows! Bamba finds Badji in the depths. In front of Mannone, the Picard center forward places his shot to the left of the goal.
Amiens does well at ASM
Monaco remains on 4 wins in its last 4 games against ASC. The latest dates back to February 2020, for a 2-1 success at the Stade de la Licorne.
Akolo equalises… offside!
Amiens still plays a free kick very quickly. Akolo is found in the back of the defense and deceives Mannone with a dive ball. The linesman finally raises his flag.
Tchouameni tries again
Definitely a lot of shots in this first period. Even if the distant attempt of Tchouaméni is too crushed this time.
Akolo countered
Served back on an eccentric free kick, Akolo is in an excellent position to attempt the strike. It is countered by the Monegasque defense.
Card for Tchouaméni
Logical warning for those who irregularly stopped Bamba and an Amiens counter-attack.
First shot on target for Amiens
Lomotey tries to surprise Mannone with a long shot. The Monegasque goalkeeper catches the ball, in two stages.
Lucas aims for the stars
At the end of a new class movement from Akliouche, Lucas takes his chance with the right. It’s completely screwed up.
Badji stumbles on Mannone!
And here is finally an opportunity for visitors! On a quickly played free kick, Badji is served on the right of the surface. But he lost his duel with Mannone, author of a good outing.
Thuram goes to bed well
Lucas progresses in the opposing camp and tries his luck outside the box. His fleeing shot is pushed back by Thuram for a corner. Amiens is overwhelmed.
Badji disputes too much
The Amiens striker also received a warning for claiming a penalty.
Martins procrastinates
Served in the center by Akliouche on the counter, Martins shifts to the left and loses the ball. Too bad for the ASM, which had a new opportunity.
Gene already warned
He is penalized for a slight foul on Disasi.
The overdue CSA
On the second corner of Jakobs, the defense passes through and knows all the difficulties to emerge.
Another corner for ASM
Jakobs plays with Fofana, immediately countered. Second chance to follow.
New danger on the Amiens goal
Pavlovic succeeds this time with an authoritative header to dismiss the ball on this free kick on the right side.
Chouameni affected
More fear than harm for the striker, who received a kick. He can resume his place even if Matazo leaves for the warm-up.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
ASM is already in the lead!
On the first corner of the match, Pavlovic misses his recovery, which returns to the French international. His full-axis half-volley shot is perfect and ends up in the small right net!
Bamba recovers a free kick
Very lively on his support, Bamba destabilizes the opposing midfield. Lucas has to foul to stop him.
Tchouaméni in his works
Excellent intervention from the Monegasque midfielder who offered a roulette wheel in passing. Its transmission in depth is missed.
Let’s go in this quarter-final!
The Monegasques are hiring, good game to all! Note that the VAR enters the competition from tonight.
Start of game imminent
The two teams enter the lawn of the Louis-II stadium.
ASM on all fronts
6th in Ligue 1 after their victory against Lyon (2-0), the Monegasques are also involved in the Europa League, in addition to the prospect of a Cup semi-final which is emerging.
Amiens, the cup to revive
Hinschberger’s men are only 14th in Ligue 2, with 4 small lengths ahead of the barrage. This Saturday, they conceded a draw on the lawn of Sochaux (1-1).
Monaco is gaining momentum
For its part, ASM defeated Red Star (2-0), Quevilly (3-1) and Lens (4-2) to reach the quarter-finals. With in particular a nice collective goal scored at Bollaert.
An almost quiet course for the ASC
Amiens is preparing to challenge its first Ligue 1 team, after having notably taken out Nancy in the round of 16 (2-0). Previously, the Amiens defeated Anzin-Saint-Aubin (5-0), Cambrai (4-1), Guingamp (3-2), and Linas-Monthéry (3-3, 4-3 tab).
Thuram, the beautiful story
The Amiens goalkeeper, trained in Monaco, will return to his former club after having played 4 Ligue 1 matches under his colors, between 2008 and 2010. He is also the cousin of Lilian Thuram.
A first for Akliouche
The 19-year-old striker trained at ASM will experience his first tenure in the first team tonight. This season, he came off the bench four times for only a few minutes of play.
