# Monaco Beats Brest in Key Match: Disasi Scored the Winning Header!

Monaco and Brest delivered a thrilling encounter in their Ligue 1 clash on Saturday, with the hosts securing a 2-1 victory thanks to a dramatic own goal and a late winner from Kevin Volland. The match, which was high-stakes for both sides, saw Monaco rise to the occasion and edge past their formidable opponents.

The first half was a tale of missed chances and defensive errors. Both teams created several opportunities, but neither could find the back of the net. Brest came closest when Terem Moffi fired a powerful shot from outside the box, forcing Monaco goalkeeper Alexander Nübel into action. The visitors’ persistence paid off in the 35th minute when Moffi converted a penalty after Monaco’s central defender Guillermo Maripán was penalized for a foul in the box. Brest led 1-0 at halftime, but Monaco returned with a renewed sense of purpose.

The second half was a rollercoaster of emotions. Monaco’s determination shone through as Cesc Fàbregas leveled the score with a clinical finish in the 57th minute. The game seemed to be heading for a draw when, against the run of play, Monaco took the lead. Brest’s defense, already struggling to contain Monaco’s attacking trio of Volland, Fàbregas, and Aurélien Tchouamé, suffered a cruel blow in the 78th minute. A misplaced header by Brest defender Lucas Verdonarreta flew into his own net, giving Monaco the lead.

Despite a late surge from Brest, Monaco held firm. Volland, who had been quiet for much of the game, sealed the victory in stoppage time with a perfectly timed header from a corner kick. The full-time whistle blew, and Monaco celebrated their hard-fought win.

This victory underscores Monaco’s growing confidence under manager Alberto Maldini, who has been working wonders with this young squad. Brest, meanwhile, will need to regroup as they aim to challenge for a top-half finish.

Overall, it was a match that had everything—tension, drama, and moments of brilliance. Monaco’s never-say-die attitude proved decisive, and Disasi’s header, along with Volland’s late winner, will be remembered as the key moments in this thrilling encounter.
