Monaco’s perfect Ligue 1 start ends with Strasbourg draw
Sadibou Sane's own goal gave Strasbourg the lead shortly after halftime, but Paris Brunner blasted in a superb equaliser to ensure Monaco reclaimed top spot from Rennes.
Monaco's perfect start to Ligue 1 came to an end with a 1-1 draw against Strasbourg on Saturday, marking their first loss in three consecutive wins. Strasbourg's Jacobo Ortega opened the scoring shortly after halftime, while Paris Brunner equalized for Monaco with a superb strike from 20 yards out. Brunner, the Germany youth international, has now scored five goals in six appearances for Monaco across all competitions this season.
Rennes had briefly claimed the top spot with a 1-0 victory over Marseille on Friday, but Monaco reclaimed their position on goal difference after Lyon and Paris FC failed to secure wins. Auxerre's Cameron Archer scored the only goal of the match to secure a 1-0 win for his team, marking his first points in two appearances for manager Will Still since joining on loan from Southampton.
Toulouse fought back from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw with Lorient, while Le Havre remains winless after a goalless draw against Angers. Paris Saint-Germain, aiming to win their third consecutive Champions League title, face Brest on Sunday in search of their first victory of the domestic season after collecting just two points from their opening three matches in Ligue 1.
