# Monaco's Ben Yedder Scores Crucial Goal as Monaco Wins 3-0 Against Nice in Ligue 1 Season Finale, Personal Tally Reaches 18
Monaco's Ben Yedder etched his name into the history of the club with a decisive goal in the final match of the Ligue 1 season, as Monaco defeated Nice 3-0 at Stade Louis II. The victory not only secured a positive end to the campaign for the Principality club but also marked a milestone for Yedder, who took his personal tally to 18 goals for the season.
The match was a high-stakes encounter, with both teams vying for a strong finish in the league standings. Nice came into the game looking to secure European qualification, while Monaco sought to end the season on a positive note under manager Feliciano Rivol. The hosts dominated from the first whistle, with Yedder playing a pivotal role in creating chances. His relentless work rate and clinical finishing were instrumental in breaking down a resilient Nice defense.
The breakthrough came in the 22nd minute when Yedder capitalized on a defensive error to slot home a cool finish, putting Monaco ahead. The goal was a testament to Yedder's determination and composure, and it set the tone for the rest of the match. Monaco's dominance continued, with Yedder again playing a key role in the 66th minute, delivering a perfectly weighted cross that led to Kevin Vardy's second goal of the game. The third goal came six minutes later, courtesy of Cesc Fàbregas, who capitalized on a defensive mistake to slot home from the edge of the box.
Despite the final scoreline, the match was also notable for the performance of Nice's goalkeeper, Benoit Costil, who made several stunning saves to keep his team in the game. However, Monaco's clinical finishing and tactical organization proved too much for the visitors to handle.
With the win, Monaco ended the season in 10th place, securing a top-half finish in Ligue 1. While the season did not end in the desired manner for the club, the performance of Ben Yedder and the team's younger players provided a glimpse of hope for the future. Rivol praised Yedder's contributions, stating, "Ben has been exceptional this season. His goal-scoring ability and work rate are a credit to the team, and he has shown that he can play at the highest level."
Yedder himself remained humble after the match, dedicating his achievement to the fans and his team. "This win is for the players, the staff, and the fans who supported us all season," he said. "We wanted to finish on a high note, and we did that together."
As the season draws to a close, Ben Yedder's 18 goals stand as a highlight of Monaco's campaign, and his leadership on and off the pitch will be crucial as the club looks to build for the future. For now, the focus is on celebrating a memorable season and setting the stage for another successful campaign next time around.
