WHAT A GOAL ! 17 November 2019, 18:20

"Shaba" scores !

In a season in 2001-2002 that saw Didier Deschamps begin his coaching career in some difficulty, Shabani Nonda treated the fans at Stade Louis-II to a wonder goal on a perfect pass from Ludovic Giuly.

Facing ESTAC Troyes on September 10, 2001 on the sixth matchday of the championship, the Red and Whites won 2-0 thanks to goals from Shabani Nonda and Oliver Bierhoff. It was in the 37th minute that the Congolese striker opened the scoring after a superb bit of interplay. Picked out with an inch-perfect ball by Ludovic Giuly, Nonda controlled and hammered home a powerful volley without the ball hitting the ground.
