AS Monaco beat Freiburg 3-0 in the Liga Conferência, a clean-sheet win that came from taking chances rather than drowning the visitors in attempts. Freiburg shot more often and won more corners, yet left empty-handed.
Match Summary
The official result was 3-0, and it stood on finishing, not on a flood of home shots. Monaco needed only eight attempts. Six of those were on target, which is how three goals can arrive without a shot-count advantage. Freiburg worked the other way: more attempts, more set pieces, almost nothing on target.
Freiburg were shown a yellow card in the 37th minute, the first booking of the night. After half-time the cautions tilted toward Monaco. Alexander Golovin was booked in the 49th minute, Anis Soubeir in the 70th, and Ansu Fati in the 86th. The interruptions never became a dismissal. Freiburg still finished with 11 corners to Monaco's six and 12 shots to eight, but the visitors put only one attempt on target. When the Liga Conferência fixture closed, the scoreboard read 3-0.
Key Moments
Monaco's on-target rate was the difference that mattered. Six shots on target from eight attempts meant the home side did not have to dominate the attempt count to win 3-0.
