AS Monaco beat Denmark's Nordsjaelland 2-0 on Thursday in the Conference League. After CSKA Sofia and Freiburg, the principality club recorded a third consecutive win.
Nordsjaelland defended deep. A goal did not disrupt that plan: the Danes continued to sit deep, forcing Monaco to show patience.
Thanks to this success achieved without forcing the issue, ASM continues its perfect record in the competition. The result consolidates its position in the group, without the match having required a maximum effort.
AS Monaco therefore had to wait. The first half did not allow them to break the opponent's lock, despite territorial dominance.
This second-half restart allowed them to convert the advantage while retaining control of the match. Nordsjaelland did not change its defensive organization.
Coming out of the dressing rooms, the Monegasque side displayed other, more attacking intentions. The pace accelerated after the break.
The 2-0 scoreline closed a controlled evening. Monaco thus strings together three wins, after those against CSKA Sofia and Freiburg, and remains unbeaten in the Conference League.
