Bastia
Whether you are considering an AS Monaco shirt for yourself or for one of your kids, now is the perfect time to pick one up. The Red and Whites scored their biggest win of the entire 2014 2015 season in their Friday the 13th fixture with Bastia. They could be peaking at the perfect time.
The game, held at Monaco's own Stade Louis II, brought out a slew of home fans, from young supporters in the Monaco kids home jersey 2014 2015 to veteran fans in older versions of the home jersey. None of those fans were disappointed, as the Red and Whites took the lead midway through the first half and never looked back.
The first goal of the fixture was delivered at the 22-minute mark, when the young Anthony Martial converted an assist from Nabil Dirar. Dirar provided another successful assist just before halftime, this time to Matheus Carvalho.
For a second week in a row, AS Monaco went into halftime with a 2-0 lead. The week before, they had dominated an away fixture at Evian in similar fashion. In that game, the squad led 2-0 after the first half and extended the lead to 3-0 just 15 minutes into the second. Evian did eventually get on the board, but the triumph was still a big one for the Monaco football club.
This week, the narrative was very similar. With a 2-0 lead at the half, the home side had all the momentum. Once play resumed, it only took five minutes before Anthony Martial had increased his team's score to 3-0-and turn his single goal into a brace.
Unlike Evian, though, Bastia was never able to break through the Red and White defenses, and when full time had elapsed on the match, the wearers of the AS Monaco shirt had won a three-point victory. It's the football club's first three-point victory of the 2014 2015 season.
A Dark Horse Contender?
Needless to say, the victory was an exciting one for fans of all ages. If you are thinking about picking up a new Monaco kids home jersey 2014 2015 from Soccer Box, you shouldn't do it because of the big win, but because of AS Monaco's chances at claiming a Ligue 1 soccer title this year.
In 2013 2014, Monaco ended up at second place on the French Ligue 1 table. It was a respectable finish, but the club still trailed nine points behind Paris Saint Germain. Eventually, it became clear that PSG was going to claim the trophy, and all other teams were left competing for second place.
This year, things are more wide open. With 10 games left to play, Lyon is leading with 57 points, PSG is right behind with 56, and Olympique Marseille is rounding out the top three with 53. With 50 points and with strong momentum on their side after two big wins, AS Monaco has a lot of potential to break into the top three-if not serve as a potential dark horse contender for the top spot.
Could the Red and Whites be spoilers for Lyon and PSG's 2014 2015 title hopes? We should find out in upcoming fixtures with Reims and Saint-Etienne.
