In a thrilling match that saw both teams put up a strong fight, Ben Yedder scored twice to help Monaco secure a 3-1 victory over Strasbourg in the Ligue 1 round 15 match on Sunday.

The match began with both sides looking to get off to a good start and create chances for themselves. However, it was Monaco who started the scoring when they were awarded a penalty in the 22nd minute. The French striker stepped up to take the spot-kick and sent his shot past the goalkeeper to give his side an early lead.

Strasbourg responded well to the setback and created several opportunities to equalize. But it was Monaco who doubled their lead just before half-time when a cross from the left flank found the head of their striker, Benjamin Mendy, who headed the ball into the back of the net.

The second half saw Monaco continue to dominate possession and create more chances for their attackers. And it was their star player, Ben Yedder, who delivered the decisive blow in the 67th minute. He received the ball on the edge of the box and fired a powerful shot into the top corner of the goal, giving Monaco a commanding 2-0 lead.

Strasbourg continued to push forward in search of an equalizer but could not find a way through the Monaco defense. The visitors' only consolation came in the 88th minute when they were awarded a penalty after a foul by Mendy on a Strasbourg player. But the French striker failed to convert the penalty, leaving Monaco with all three points.

Overall, it was a well-deserved win for Monaco, who have now moved up to third place in the table. They will hope to maintain this form as they face weaker opponents in the coming matches. Meanwhile, Strasbourg will be disappointed with their defeat and will need to bounce back quickly if they want to stay in the hunt for a place in Europe next season.
