Another defeat for Monaco is a 2-0 defeat against Dijon

PARIS (Reuters) – Monaco lost Saturday against Dijon in a new defeat to French Ligue 1, after a 2-0 defeat against host Dijon the day before the return of his former coach to save him from relegation.

Leonardo Jardim will be back three months after being replaced by Thierry Henry, sacked Friday.

Monaco is in penultimate position and needs points against rivals, who have three places.

But he could not stand in front of the owner who had won once in the last 17 league games.

Korean Chang Hoon Kwon gave the advantage to Dijon in the 24th minute with a first goal of the season. The task of Monaco increased after the direct dismissal of defender Naldo following a violent intervention.

Naeem Al-Sulaiti doubled Dijon's lead nine minutes later.

Dijon increased its lead to 20 points, five points ahead of Monaco, one point down the Ganges, who lost 1-0 at home to Stade Rance.

Strasbourg, who scored in the 90th minute to impose 1-0 in Bordeaux, is fifth against Nice, who beat Olympique Nym 2-0.

Paris Saint-Germain is leading the match with 53 points in 19 games, 10 points more than Lille, who has played 22 games.
