- Terem Moffi - 31' Pen
Moffi penalty gives Lorient 1-0 win over Monaco
AS Monaco stretched their winless Ligue 1 start to two games after a first-half penalty from Terem Moffi gave Lorient a 1-0 win over the principality side on Friday.
Moffi converted the 31st-minute spot kick after he was hauled down by Ismail Jakobs shortly after Sofiane Diop skied his shot over bar from a good position at the other end.
Monaco had 72% of the possession in the first half but Lorient came close to doubling their lead when left back Vincent Le Goff shaved the top of the bar with a cross-turned shot in the 43rd minute.
Defender Strahinja Pavlovic glanced a header inches wide for the visitors shortly after the break but that was as close as they came to an equaliser as they created little up front against a packed Lorient defence.
In Saturday's standout fixture, Paris Saint-Germain are at home to Strasbourg with new signing Lionel Messi to be presented to the fans before the kickoff.
