Monaco Dominates Reims with Biereth Hat-Trick

In Ligue 1 action on February 28, 2025, Monaco secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Stade de Reims, highlighted by Mika Biereth’s impressive hat-trick.

Match Summary

Mika Biereth continued his sensational home form for Monaco, netting his third hat-trick in as many games at Stade Louis II. His early header attempt set the tone for Monaco’s attacking intent. Reims threatened briefly due to a Thilo Kehrer mistake, but Kehrer recovered to prevent Junya Ito from scoring.

Monaco intensified their pressure, and Biereth came close again before finally breaking the deadlock. He volleyed in a Caio Henrique cross at the far post for his first goal. Just minutes later, Biereth doubled his tally, controlling a Maghnes Akliouche pass and scoring into the corner of the net.

Biereth completed his hat-trick in the second half after Reims goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf saved Breel Embolo’s shot, but Biereth was there to tap in the rebound. While Monaco eased off slightly in the second half, allowing Reims some chances, they comfortably secured the win, bouncing back from their previous defeat to Lille.
