The game: An hour of waiting before a thrilling late
Like last week in Nantes (0-0), Monaco did not offer much in the first period Friday night. Blame it on a difficult pitch after the holding of the meeting of the Coupe de France between Granville and OM yesterday and Caen a block in place. The Monegasque supporters have really thought revive a soporific match before being taken out of their somnolence by a stroke of brilliant leg Lemar. Norman side, Patrice Garande renewed its challenge of a defense to 5 but in the absence of Delort, suspended, it did not pay off at first. Remounted by a penalty Féret, the Caen have once again demonstrated a solidarity and generosity late in the game that allowed them to hang a logical zero and continue to dream of Europe.
Players: Traore had his chance, he has missed
Leonardo Jardim decided to blow his rookie Vagner Love Friday. His replacement, Lacina Traoré, disappointed by being well controlled by Yahia-Adeoti duo. Bernardo Silva made the difference with a large class action on the second goal for his team. Wallace proved naive conceding a penalty for a hand ball in the area. Without Delort and Ntibazonkiza (injured), Rodelin appeared isolated peak in Caen. No opportunity to put in their mouths for the former Lille. Winter rookie came from Tours, Kouakou, took over by equalizing with a superb back. Young wingers Nkololo and Bazile were rather discreet. Unknown to the general public, Appiah string of very solid performance on his right side in defense. Helder Costa, his vis-à-vis the evening can attest.

What could change everything: Vercoutre remained focused until the end
In stoppage time of the second period (90 + 5), the new entrant Mbappe caused a dangerous free kick last 30 meters of the Norman goals. Moutinho found the head of Ricardo Carvalho but his compatriot Vercoutre saved the zero point of a horizontal sublime on his goal line. The stadium Ornano did not forget to salute the decisive move of his evening hero.
The stat: 3
With Lemar and Moutinho, Leonardo Jardim has shooters set pieces very dangerous. His hope the international proved once again Friday and ASM converted a third shot victorious franc, a record this season in L1.

The question: ASM is is now ruin everything?
Meanwhile the match between Lyon (4th) and Guingamp Sunday evening, Monaco, PSG dolphin, eight points ahead of his opponent in the evening (3rd). In two games against two direct competitors (Nantes and Caen) in the race for Europe, teammates Toulalan failed to detach and move closer to major step C1 getting two draws in outside. The late equalizer Normans can leave regrets but Monegasques should instead retain some grounds for satisfaction.
Certainly their play money always proves too uninspiring but they almost lose more (one defeat in the last 16 days), even when the ASM makes a pale copy, as in Nantes it a week ago. The return cannonball OL, accentuated by his brilliant victory against PSG, could shake the ASM. A win against Guingamp, Gones have only six points behind Lyon, with the prospect of OL-Monaco at the 37th day …

But Lyon will have to make strong. Because the pace of ASM is supported. In the last six games (three home wins, 3 draws out), it performs the path of a true candidate for the Champions League. For now, the legs of the players of the Rock did not flageolent and they have all the cards in hand to succeed in their challenge: to qualify directly for the C1 ensuring second place and will not go through these tricky preliminary rounds of the summer . Their draw at Caen does not necessarily mitigate this impression.
