Montpellier Defeats Monaco 2-1 in Ligue 1 Upset

Montpellier HSC shocked AS Monaco with a 2-1 victory at Stade de la Mosson, significantly boosting their survival hopes in Ligue 1. Despite an early goal from Monaco's Thilo Kehrer, who headed in from a corner, Montpellier's Mousa Al-Tamari turned the game around with two second-half goals, marking his first goals of the season. The match's momentum shifted after a lengthy delay caused by loud music from Montpellier fans, which seemed to disrupt Monaco's rhythm. This defeat extends Monaco's winless streak to four matches and raises concerns about their form ahead of an upcoming Champions League clash with Aston Villa. The result leaves Monaco at risk of dropping out of the top three in Ligue 1, while Montpellier remains at the bottom of the table but is now just four points from safety. This win also marks Montpellier's first victory in seven matches across all competitions.
