Camara and Zakaria drive Monaco to 1-0 win at Le Havre
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
AS Monaco claimed a hard-fought 1-0 victory away at Le Havre, with defensive midfielders Camara and Zakaria both earning standout ratings.
AS Monaco returned from Normandy with three points on Sunday after a disciplined 1-0 win at Le Havre, continuing what is shaping up to be a promising early-season run for Adi Hütter's side.
The performance hinged on the midfield pairing of Maghnes Camara and Denis Zakaria, who between them shut down the home side's attacking transitions and kept Monaco compact throughout. Zakaria was particularly prominent, covering ground across the full width of the pitch and winning back possession repeatedly in the second half.
The result keeps Monaco in contention at the top of Ligue 1 and will offer genuine encouragement to supporters ahead of the next home fixture at the Stade Louis II. Clean sheets on the road are rarely straightforward in Normandy, and this one underlines the defensive solidity that the coaching staff have been building since pre-season.
