Ivorian winger Simon Adingra made an instant impact at AS Monaco, scoring twice as the Ligue 1 side surged to a 3-1 lead over FC Nantes by half-time.
Signed during the winter transfer window, Adingra wasted no time making his mark. In the 25th minute, he capitalized on a defensive blunder by Abakar Sylla, following up on goalkeeper Lopes’ initial save to slot home the rebound.
Just three minutes later, he struck again, this time converting a precise assist from Golovin to complete a rapid-fire brace.
Adingra’s intelligent movement and sharp positioning constantly troubled the Nantes defense, highlighting the success of Monaco’s winter recruitment.
His quick adaptation to French top-flight football was evident, with two goals in just three appearances signaling his readiness to play a pivotal role for the club.
By half-time, Monaco held a comfortable advantage, largely thanks to their new Ivorian recruit.
Adingra’s pace, anticipation, and clinical finishing set the tone for a dominant performance and offered the Principality side a boost as they look to climb the Ligue 1 standings.
