However, the response from the formidable French team came via Vanderson, followed by Wissam Ben Yedder’s goal that handed Monaco the lead just two minutes before halftime.

In the second half, Seidu played a pivotal role in setting up Muhammed-Cham Saracevic for the equalizing goal. Nevertheless, Ben Yedder regained Monaco’s lead with twenty minutes left on the clock.

Despite Clermont Foot’s efforts to level the score, AS Monaco managed to extend their lead deep into injury time, courtesy of Maghnes Akliouche.

Notably, Seidu’s compatriot and Black Stars teammate, Mohammed Salisu, was not part of the squad for this match. Additionally, Myron Boadu, a Ghanaian-born player from the Netherlands, came on as a late substitute for Monaco during the game.
