<br>AS Monaco’s Nigerian-born forward, George Ilenikhena, commended the outstanding performance of L'Union Saint-Jean FC goalkeeper Fawzi Rabyi during their Coupe de France clash on Sunday at the Stadium de Toulouse. Monaco secured a 4-1 win, but Rabyi’s impressive saves, including denying two penalties, made the game far from straightforward for the Ligue 1 side.

<br>Ilenikhena, who [replaced Breel](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/interviews/noah-atubolu-addresses-racism-in-german-football/) Embolo in the 63rd minute, had several attempts on goal, including one that struck the woodwork. He [eventually](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/fan-zone/nwachukwu-the-provider-as-plodiv-begin-league-campaign/) found the net in stoppage time, completing Monaco's victory. Reflecting on the game, Ilenikhena remarked on Rabyi’s resilience.
<br>
<br>"The goalkeeper made some great saves he stopped two penalties, that’s huge. I also had a chance that he turned away. He had a great game, he’s a good goalkeeper."
<br>
<br>The victory advances Monaco to the next round, where they will face fellow Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims. Ilenikhena, who joined Monaco from Royal Antwerp in the summer, has five goal involvements in 22 appearances this season.
