Mónaco dio golpe de autoridad en el Stade Gaston Gérard, con Falcao logrando su primer triplete de temporada, con el primero apenas comenzando el partido gracias a un servicio de Kamil Glik, que lo encontro en su habitat natural para ponerla en la esquina del porteor rival, a los 3 minutos.
Fue más bien a la contra , cuando Monaco hizo 2-0 con el acabado acrobático de Jemerson tras pase de Joao Moutinho (25 ‘).
Los visitantes entonces parecían haber tomado control del juego sin lugar a dudas cuando Falcao lograba su segundo día a los (38 ‘), pero todavía había tiempo para que Saïd los mantuviera honrados, con su final entre las piernas de Danijel Subasic (44’) poniendo el marcador 3-1 en el intervalo.
Cortar la mostaza
Dijon, sin embargo, demostró ser incapaz de defender las entregas de Mónaco en su caja. Glik obligó al guardameta Baptiste Reynet a salvar después de otr tiro de esquina de Moutinho poco después de la reanudación (49 ‘) y los campeones aseguraron su marcador, con Falcao subiendo más alto para encontrar un centro de Lemar desde el otro lado (51’ ). hat tirck del colombiano y 1-4 para Monaco.

Monaco raced into the lead at the Stade Gaston Gérard, with Falcao getting on the end of Kamil Glik’s header on from a Thomas Lemar corner to thump home the opener inside the first five minutes (3′). Guingamp thought they’d got themselves back on level terms soon after, but Kwon Chang-hoon’s effort was ruled out for offside (12′). Naïm Sliti – who had teed up Kwon’s chance – then fed the ball through to Wesley Saïd, but the forward blazed narrowly wide before seeing the flag go up against him, too (20′). It was rather against the run of play, then, when Monaco made it 2-0 with Jemerson’s acrobatic finish from a Joao Moutinho corner (25′). The visitors then looked to have put the game beyond doubt when Falcao steered home his second of the day (38′), but there was still time for Saïd to keep them honest, with his finish between Danijel Subasic’s legs (44′) making the score 3-1 at the interval.
Cutting the mustard
Dijon, though, proved incapable of defending Monaco’s deliveries into their box. Glik forced home goalkeeper Baptiste Reynet into a save after meeting another Moutinho corner soon after the restart (49′) and the champions secured their three-goal cushion minutes later, with Falcao rising highest to meet a Lemar cross from the other side (51′). Dijon coach Olivier Dall’Oglio threw on defenders Oussama Haddadi and Fouad Chafik for Adam Lang and Valentin Rosier soon after in an attempt to stem the tide, but traffic continued to flow in the same direction. Lemar span a free-kick narrowly past Reynet’s top corner (70′) before Falcao came off for Guido Carrillo (79′) to a standing ovation from both sets of fans. Glik conceded a late foul on Saïd on the edge of the Monaco box but the forward’s resulting free-kick sailed harmlessly off-target (86′) and it ended 4-1.
