PARIS (AP) — Monaco won 2-0 at rival Brest to move up to second place in the French league behind Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday.
Defending champion PSG hosted Lyon later as it chases a record-extending 12th league title.
Monaco is mathematically still in contention. Surprise front-runner Brest dropped to third and sits two points behind Monaco, which has played one game less.
The match ball was delivered in an unusual away — by helicopter with a man hoisted down to the center circle with the ball in a bag.
Switzerland midfielder Denis Zakaria put Monaco ahead in the 40th minute, picking up a loose ball on the left of the penalty area and curling a fine shot into the right corner.
Japan forward Takumi Minamino made it 2-0 just after the break when he turned in a left-wing cross from Krépin Diatta. The goal was disallowed for offside but given when a review ruled Diatta was onside. Monaco finished with nine players after midfielder Eliesse Ben Seghir and defender Wilfried Singo were sent off in stoppage time as tempers frayed.
