Monaco brush aside Lyon to continue winning start to Ligue 1

Teenager Eliesse Ben Seghir capped a fine performance with the opener midway through the second half, before Lamine Camara struck to seal the three points for the away side.

Lyon have endured another difficult start to their league campaign. After a 3-0 defeat at Rennes last weekend, they have now conceded five goals in their opening two matches, having been the form team in Ligue 1 in 2024.

“It’s incredible; we’d never won here,” said Ben Seghir. “We won by two goals. It’s the third match where we’ve kept a clean sheet (including a friendly against Barcelona); that shows the way we play.”

The hosts’ troubles began early when forward Ernest Nuamah appeared to pull a muscle and was replaced by new signing Georges Mikautadze.

The best chance of the first half fell to Monaco’s Japanese attacker, Takumi Minamino, on the half-hour mark. The former Liverpool player wriggled free inside the box with a deft touch, but Lucas Perri managed to narrow the angle and tipped the ball onto the far post.
