Matthis Abline opened his account with AS Monaco by scoring one of the finest goals of the season in Ligue 1, Saturday night at Louis-II in the home fixture against Toulouse (Matchday 6).

Silent through his first five league matches — a starter only in the previous two — the former Nantes forward waited for his moment before striking hard. Edan Diop had put ASM ahead just before the half-hour mark (29’), but it was Abline who delivered the standout moment of the evening.

With a balancing act in the heart of the penalty area, the striker finished with a pivot half-volley of remarkable precision and technique to extend the lead. A gesture that contrasts sharply with the quietness of his early days in Monaco and one that should quickly circulate among contenders for Ligue 1’s goal of the season.
