Monaco defeated Getafe in a preseason match played at the Louis II Stadium, with a final score of 1-0. The game started with a couple of opportunities for both teams, but it was the Monaco side that settled down after a hydration break and sought the goal, which came through Brunner's penalty kick in the 64th minute following a foul by Davinchi. Before this goal, a penalty awarded to Monaco allowed Brunner to score the only goal of the match.
Alarm for Uche
The worst part of the game occurred when near the end, a ball was contested leaving Mawissa making a harsh tackle on Christantus Uche. The Nigerian player left the field on a stretcher and raised concerns among Getafe fans. Subsequently, Kiko Femenía had to leave due to an injury, keeping the team short-handed.
Andrés García was the standout performer for Getafe, trying to set up goals for his teammates, but the victory ultimately went to Monaco. The match ended with just one goal on the scoreboard, leaving Getafe in need of improving their defense and Uche's physical condition.
