Monaco's Ben Yedder scores twice as Monaco beat Ligue 1 rivals Nice 3-1

Monaco has made it through to the round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League after defeating Ligue 1 rivals Nice 3-1 on Wednesday night. The match was played at the Stade Louis-II in Nice, and Ben Yedder scored twice for Monaco, helping them to secure a crucial victory.

The first goal came early in the second half when Yedder capitalized on a mistake by Nice goalkeeper Mathias Caqueret, who could only watch as the ball sailed past him into the back of the net. The second goal came moments later, with Yedder continuing his impressive form, this time scoring from close range following a cross from Florian Thauvin.

The victory over Nice means that Monaco now faces AC Milan in the next round of the competition, a game that will be a tough one to win. However, with their recent success in domestic football, they have shown that they can compete against some of Europe's top teams.

Yedder's performance in the match was particularly impressive, with him providing the all-important goals that helped Monaco to secure a vital victory. He has been a key player for Monaco this season, scoring 24 goals in all competitions so far, making him one of the standout performers in French football.

Overall, it was a great result for Monaco, and one that will boost their confidence heading into the rest of the season. They now face the challenge of facing AC Milan in the next round of the Champions League, but with Yedder's performances and the team's recent success, there is no reason why they cannot make it through to the knockout stages.
