Monaco United have advanced to the Mediterranean Cup final after a commanding semi-final performance, continuing an impressive first season.
Monaco United continues making history in their first season by already securing a place in the final of the Mediterranean Cup. Sunday 5th of April marked Monaco United’s match against Hyères FC, a club playing one division higher. In this semi-final match, Monaco was confident in their skills, having already beaten a team competing two divisions above them in the quarterfinals.
A dominant semi-final performance
Marco Simone’s players began the game playing without fear, as they have learned to do and developed since the beginning of the season. Monaco United controlled the match, maintaining composure and dominating possession throughout. Mia Lawrence, one of the day’s standout performers, opened the scoring, following it up with a quick second shortly after. By halftime, Monaco was up 5-0, putting their aspirations well within reach.
In the second half, Monaco returned with determination to finish out what they had started. By utilizing the skills they have been developing, including ambition, rhythm, and intensity, they maintained their lead, finishing out the game with an 8-1 victory.
Monaco United had already secured their role as District 06 champions; however, they have now also secured a place in promotional playoffs to move up to the next level. Monaco will now compete in the Mediterranean Cup final against Olympique de Marseille Reserves, who compete two tiers above them.
On a massive day for Monaco United, Peace and Sport was also welcomed, the club’s official partner and an early supporter. Their presence was part of the White Card awareness campaign. These initiatives shine a light on the shared values between Monaco United and Peace and Sport, including inclusion, commitment, and togetherness.
With a place in the final now secured, Monaco United’s debut season continues to exceed expectations, as the club prepares for its biggest test yet against higher-level opposition.
