# Monaco Thrash Montpellier 3-0: Disasi and Ben Yedder Shine in Dominant Victory
Monaco delivered a commanding performance in their Ligue 1 clash against Montpellier, securing a 3-0 victory at Stade Louis II. The match was a clinical display of attacking intent, with key contributions from full-backs Kevin Vardy and Djamel Disasi, as well as the ever-dangerous Khéphren Thuram.
The first half was dominated by Monaco, who pressed Montpellier high up the field and capitalized on their pressure. Disasi opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a well-taken goal, finishing a neat exchange on the edge of the box. Just five minutes later, Montpellier's defense was again caught out, and Ben Yedder, who had been lively throughout, fired a low shot past goalkeeper Laurent Batista to make it 2-0. Monaco's control was evident, and their third goal came shortly after the interval when Vardy converted a cross from the right flank.
Montpellier, despite their best efforts, struggled to create clear chances, thanks in part to a solid Monaco defensive block. Midfielder Rony Passioto had a few moments of brilliance, but his team's attacking output was often stifled. Monaco's goalkeeper, Alexander Nübel, made a couple of important saves, including a denying a close-range effort from Passioto in the 65th minute.
Head coach Philippe Clement will be delighted with the performance, as Monaco extended their winning streak and moved closer to the top of the table. "We wanted to dominate the game, and we did," Clement said after the match. "The boys played with great intensity and togetherness, and that's what wins us games."
For Ben Yedder, who scored his first goal since joining Monaco in the summer, the win was a much-needed confidence booster. "It's a great victory for the team," Yedder said. "We played well defensively and attacked wisely. We deserve this win."
Monaco's next test is a crucial away match against Paris Saint-Germain, but for now, their focus is on maintaining their momentum and continuing their push for a top-four finish in Ligue 1. The 3-0 victory over Montpellier sends a clear message: Monaco are serious contenders this season.
