Next defeat
Hütter’s Monaco lose at the bottom of the table
AS Monaco have suffered their second bitter defeat in a row. Coach Adi Hütter's team lost 2:1 at bottom club Montpellier in the French soccer championship on Friday evening and thus went out on penalties again after being eliminated by Stade Reims in the Cup on Tuesday.
The league debut of former Sturm Graz striker Mika Biereth, who was allowed to play in attack a few days after his million-euro transfer, was also a failure.
The 1:0 lead at the break through defender Thilo Kehrer was not enough for the visitors, as Mousa Tamari single-handedly turned the game around with a brace (55', 82'). Monegasque have not won and lost three of their last four competitive matches. As a result, they lack the necessary confidence ahead of the continuation of the Champions League season on Tuesday against Aston Villa. Monaco are 16th in the league phase of the "premier class" with two games to go, while the English side are in fifth place.
In Ligue 1, Hütter's side remain third for the time being with 31 points after 18 games. Montpellier drew level on points with penultimate-placed Le Havre after their third win of the season.
