Late Kehrer Goal Secures Monaco’s Victory Over Bologna in Champions League
In a tense match on November 6, 2024, AS Monaco clinched a 1-0 victory against Bologna thanks to a late goal from defender Thilo Kehrer. With just four minutes left on the clock, Kehrer was left unmarked in front of goal, allowing him to extend a leg and poke home a flick from a corner, sealing the win for Monaco.
This victory marks Monaco’s unbeaten start to the Champions League season, while it also dealt Bologna their first-ever home defeat in European competition. Both teams had opportunities to score in the first half, but their efforts were thwarted by disallowed goals.
The match was characterized by impressive performances from both goalkeepers—Radoslaw Majecki for Monaco and Lukasz Skorupski for Bologna—who made several crucial saves that kept the game level at halftime.
Despite some chances in the second half, it wasn’t until the 86th minute that Kehrer’s decisive strike broke the deadlock. With this win, Monaco sits in third place with 10 points in the group, while Bologna finds themselves at the bottom with just one point after four matches.
