Monaco cruise past Gornik Zabrze with ease

Four different Monaco scorers secure a comfortable 4-1 victory in the Conference League.

Monaco asserted their dominance with goals from Paris Josua Brunner and M. Coulibaly before the break, then A. Golovin and M. Biereth extended the lead after the interval. Gornik Zabrze's J. Antiste managed a consolation goal late on, but it was too little too late. Fipster's low-confidence prediction of a home win was on the money, though the margin was far more emphatic than expected.
