The opening of the Monegasque score occurred just after his exit due to injury (67th), and it is perhaps no coincidence since Cakir (7) had largely contributed to keeping his goal clean. The Turkish goalkeeper produced two great saves in front of Akliouche (20th, 30th) and especially Zakaria’s penalty (50th).

Present in the duel, Osimhen (4) narrowly missed on his five shots.
