Monaco United Women’s football secured a commanding 6-0 victory against Villeneuve-Loubet at the Stade Dider-Deschamps on Sunday 8th February, completing a three-win streak without conceding a goal.

The momentum began with an away victory against FC Lambescain in the Mediterranean Cup, securing the team’s place in the quarter finals. Head coach Marco Simone described their earlier win against Carros as “a turning point, both mentally and sportingly” that kickstarted their season.

The team followed up with a 25-0 league win over AS Moulins, taking them to 100 goals scored in the league campaign so far.

Breaking down Villeneuve-Loubet

Marina Makanza scored twice in the opening stages to give her team an early 2-0 lead. Two more goals before half-time then put the match beyond doubt, with Monaco United leading 4-0 at the break.

The team added two more goals in the second half to seal a convincing 6-0 victory against opponents with the league’s second best defence.

Defender Meryl Cirri praised the team’s patience in breaking down a well-organised defence. “We faced a team that had prepared well, particularly defensively,” she said. “It took some time to adapt and find openings, but gradually spaces appeared.”

The three consecutive clean sheets have further established Monaco United’s strength alongside their attacking style. “We’re not conceding goals at the moment, which is very positive for our defensive line,” added Cirri.

Next matches

The victory maintains Monaco Unite’s position at the top of the league table as they pursue promotion through the play-offs.

Next up is a friendly fame in Corsica against AS Pietrosella on Sunday, followed by the Paul Marenco Cup quarter-final against AS Fontonne Antibes on 22nd February.

The team also face a significant test on 1st March when they travel to FC Rousset in the Mediterranean Cup quarter-finals. Rousset compete two divisions above Monaco United.

“Our ambitions remain unchanged: to win the league, aims for promotion through the play-offs, and go as far as possible in cup competitions,” said Simone. “We are doing great things, but the true assessment will come at the end of the season.”
