Monaco United reach French Cup stage after derby win
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
Monaco United beat local rivals ASMFF 3-0 to reach the next round of the Coupe de France Féminine.
Monaco United secured a comfortable 3-0 win over ASMFF on Sunday at the Stade Didier-Deschamps in Cap-d'Ail, booking their place in the next stage of the Coupe de France Féminine. The fourth regional round derby pitted the Principality's two women's sides against each other, with Monaco United coming out on top to continue their run in the national competition.
The victory leaves Monaco United as the only club from the Principality still standing in this season's Coupe de France Féminine, following the elimination of other local sides in earlier rounds. For a club built around grassroots women's football in Monaco, advancing to the national stages marks a significant step and keeps the Principality represented in one of French football's most storied knockout competitions.
The result also extends Monaco United's recent dominance in matches against ASMFF, continuing a run of derby victories between the two clubs. Attention now turns to the draw for the next round, which will determine whether Monaco United's cup run continues against opposition from further afield in France.
