Setback for Monaco ahead of Champions League tie

Hertha Berlin defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 in the Bundesliga on Friday, dealing their former player Niko Kovac his first loss as coach of the German champion.
Kovac was part of Hertha’s midfield with Pal Dardai — who is now Hertha’s coach — from 2003 to 2006. Dardai outwitted him this time, as veteran forward Vedad Ibisevic and league top-scorer Ondrej Duda struck in the first half to hand Bayern his first defeat in all competitions this season.
In Saint-Itienne, France, Monaco slumped to their sixth defeat in all competitions this season when they lost 2-0 at Saint Etienne, a worrying setback just days before they face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
