Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) suffered a 2-1 defeat to AS Monaco in a closely fought Ligue 1 match at the Parc des Princes on Friday. This loss extends PSG's losing streak against Monaco in Ligue 1 to three consecutive games and leaves them winless in their first three matches of the season, with just two points from three games. Meanwhile, Monaco has started the season strongly, with three wins in three matches, placing them at the top of the league table.
The game began with PSG taking the lead in the 31st minute when Marquinhos headed in a cross from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. However, Monaco leveled the score in the 58th minute through Nazinho, who headed in a corner from Aleksandr Golovin. The decisive moment came in the 72th minute when Stanis Idumbo scored the winning goal, forcing a save from PSG's goalkeeper Matvey Safonov before it crossed the line.
PSG had several opportunities to equalize but were denied by Monaco's defense and goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky. One notable chance came in the 84th minute when Ferran Torres scored, only for the goal to be disallowed due to an offside call. Ousmane Dembélé, who came on as a substitute in the 67th minute, also had a chance in stoppage time but was thwarted by a stunning save from Hradecky.
PSG's manager Luis Enrique expressed disappointment with the result, saying the team was not at their best and that the outcome was partly due to bad luck. Statistics from the match showed PSG struggled offensively, managing only four shots on goal, two of which were on target, and holding just 32% of the possession. Monaco’s victory was largely due to their ability to seize chances and exploit defensive lapses, ultimately securing the three points with a narrow 2-1 win.
