Monaco rises to third after defeating Angers

Mika Biereth scored his 11th goal in 11 games as Monaco defeated Angers 2-0, moving the team into third place in Ligue 1. Maghnes Akliouche added a late penalty to secure the win. Monaco's victory allowed them to surpass Nice on goal difference, with eight matches remaining. The two teams will meet on March 29, as both aim for a Champions League spot. Fifth-placed Lille lost 1-0 to Nantes, despite having an extra player late in the match. Nantes' win lifted them to 13th place, while Lille risks dropping to sixth if Lyon wins on Sunday.
