AS Monaco beat Getafe 1-0 at Louis-II in final pre-season push
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
Paris Brunner's penalty settled a tight friendly at Stade Louis-II, with new signing Matthis Abline making his debut in the first half.
Stade Louis-II hosted AS Monaco's fourth pre-season fixture on Thursday, with the Monegasques edging Spanish side Getafe 1-0 courtesy of a Paris Brunner penalty. The narrow win offers some reassurance to the squad with just a fortnight to go before competitive football returns.
New arrival Matthis Abline made his first appearance in red and white, starting the opening 45 minutes as a striker. The attacker showed promising movement and created chances without finding the net, giving supporters their first look at one of the summer's incoming faces.
The result keeps momentum building ahead of the club's first official match of the 2026-27 season, with the coaching staff now able to fine-tune their preparations knowing that form and fitness are broadly on track.
