Draw against Danso's club

Hütter’s Monaco team remain unbeaten in the league

AS Monaco and RC Lens remain unbeaten in the French soccer championship after three rounds. The Monegasques, coached by Adi Hütter, drew 1-1 with the northern French side in the Principality on Sunday. 

Denis Zakaria put the hosts ahead with a header from a corner kick (84'). However, Lens got the equalizer they deserved, which Przemyslaw Frankowski scored from the penalty spot (94'). Both clubs are on seven points and are in the top five of Ligue 1.

Danso not involved
Lens traveled to the Cote d'Azur without ÖFB team defender Kevin Danso. The Austrian's transfer to AS Roma had fallen through during the week due to a failed medical check (heart). After his return to France, Danso still had to undergo extensive tests, which is why he was not yet included in the matchday squad by coach Will Still.

"Kevin is hyper-positive," said Still ahead of the game in Monaco. "He was obviously upset that his transfer didn't go through. He's a great guy. I think he's very happy to be here and to continue the adventure with us," said the Belgian. Lens defender Ruben Aguilar explained: "Kevin knows that he can rely on us, he can rely on the club". Danso had expressed his disappointment with the Romans after the transfer fell through.
