Strasbourg struggled to find rhythm, but against the run of play, they equalized just before halftime when Martial Godo played a quick one-two with Julio Enciso before slotting past Lukas Hradecky.

Monaco regained the lead minutes later when Ansu Fati capitalized on a defensive lapse to fire in from distance. The visitors nearly extended their lead before the break, with Christian Mawissa hitting the post in stoppage time, leaving Strasbourg hanging by a thread at 3-2.
