The match was filled with high intensity and spectacular goals from both sides, showcasing the skill and creativity of the players involved.
#### Match Highlights
1. **Early Breakthrough**: Montpellier struck first in the 14th minute when Antoine Disasi, the club's star striker, scored his second goal of the season. His left-footed effort found its way past the goalkeeper to give Montpellier the lead.
2. **Second Goal for Disasi**: In the 39th minute, Disasi extended his tally further, this time scoring a well-taken header off a corner kick. His performance was instrumental in securing Montpellier’s early advantage.
3. **Third Goal: Ben Yedder’s Showpiece**: In the 58th minute, Monaco finally managed to break the deadlock. Substituted-in midfielder Ben Yedder capitalized on a loose ball in the box, converting it into a stunning strike that put Monaco level at 1-1.
4. **Final Goal: Disasi’s Second**: Montpellier sealed the win in the 76th minute with another impressive goal from Disasi. This time, he finished off a clever move from the edge of the penalty area, putting Montpellier firmly ahead.
#### Player Performances
- **Antoine Disasi (Montpellier)**: Disasi had a dominant day, scoring twice and contributing several assists. His ability to score under pressure and read the game is commendable.
- **Ben Yedder (Monaco)**: While not as prolific as Disasi, Ben Yedder showed great resilience and composure in his substitute role. His goal was crucial in breaking the deadlock and giving Monaco hope.
- **Montpellier Team**: The entire team performed exceptionally well, with consistent attacking play and solid defensive efforts. Their midfield trio of Thibaut Courtois, Lucas Hernandez, and Nicolas Pepe provided strong support behind Disasi.
- **Monaco Team**: Monaco struggled to create enough chances against a disciplined Montpellier defense. Their lack of finishing power in the final third contributed to their defeat.
#### Implications for Both Teams
For Montpellier, this victory boosts their confidence and improves their league standing. They now sit comfortably at the top of the Ligue 1 table, having won three out of four matches in the last five days. The team will be eager to continue their winning streak and push for more victories.
On the other hand, Monaco’s defeat leaves them with less than ideal results after a disappointing start to the season. The loss could impact their playoff hopes, especially if they face tough opponents in the upcoming rounds.

The Montpellier vs. Monaco match was a testament to the skills and determination of both teams. Antoine Disasi’s double performances were pivotal, while Ben Yedder’s late equalizer showcased Monaco’s potential.
