# Ligue 1 Round 15: Monaco 3-1 Ajaccio - Ben Yedder, Frédéric, and Disasi Shine
The 15th round of Ligue 1 saw Monaco secure a comfortable 3-1 victory over Ajaccio, extending their impressive form. The match, played at Stade Louis II, was a dominant display from the hosts, who controlled the game from the first whistle.
Monaco took the lead just 15 minutes into the game when Ben Yedder, a key figure in their success this season, fired a low shot past Ajaccio goalkeeper Jean-François Fonte. The goal was a testament to the 30-year-old's clinical finishing, and it marked the start of a fruitful period for the home side.
Ajaccio, struggling at the bottom of the table, responded well but found it difficult to break down a resilient Monaco defense. However, in the 28th minute, Monaco doubled their advantage when Frédéric, usually a defensive midfielder, capitalized on a defensive error to slot home from close range. This goal highlighted Frédéric's growing influence in the final third of the field, a welcome contribution for the Stade de Reims loanee.
Monaco's third goal came in the 52nd minute, courtesy of a stunning strike by Kevin Disasi. The young full-back, who has been a revelation this season, cut inside from the right flank and let fly with a powerful shot that flew into the top corner. This goal not only extended Monaco's lead but also showcased Disasi's attacking prowess, a rare trait for a full-back.
Despite being 3-0 down, Ajaccio refused to lie down and fought back. In the 74th minute, substitute Yves Bissouma, who had been introduced in the second half, scored a consolation goal for the visitors. However, Monaco's defensive solidity held firm, and Ajaccio couldn't find an equalizer.
### Key Players to Watch
- **Ben Yedder**: The veteran forward continues to deliver crucial goals for Monaco, and his composure in front of goal is a major reason for their success.
- **Frédéric**: While primarily known for his defensive contributions, Frédéric's ability to contribute offensively is a huge asset to Monaco.
- **Kevin Disasi**: Disasi's attacking intent and technical ability make him a standout performer, even at just 21 years old.
- **Ajaccio's Striking Options**: Despite the loss, Ajaccio's lone goal was scored by Bissouma, highlighting the need for better finishing and creativity in their attack.
### Impact on Standings
Monaco's win moves them to 12th place in the table, extending their unbeaten run under manager Philippe Clement. Ajaccio, meanwhile, remain rooted at the bottom of the league, and their battle to avoid relegation continues.
### Next Games
Monaco will face Paris Saint-Germain in their next match, a tough test against one of the league's giants. Ajaccio, on the other hand, will look to regroup when they take on Montpellier, needing to improve defensively and offensively to turn their season around.
This victory for Monaco was a well-deserved one, and with key players in fine form, the club looks well-placed to continue their push up the table in the coming weeks.
