PSG nightmare continues as Monaco fight back to win in Paris

Filipe Luis’ side has now won all three league matches and all five games in every competition under their manager. I notice that PSG is still waiting for their domestic win of the season after two opening 2‑2 draws.

Match highlight

PSG have often begun slowly in weeks leading at half‑time in only one of their last six league matches.. Against Monaco PSG started brightly and seemed determined to finally turn early control into a win.

Desire Doue created the big chance in the 12th minute. He passed to Achraf Hakimi, whose blocked shot fell back to Desire Doue. Lukas Hradecky made a save from the follow‑up before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia fired the loose ball over.

Desire Doue kept threatening while the visitors looked far from the team that had won their two Ligue 1 matches without conceding. PSG controlled possession and space and the breakthrough finally came after over half an hour.

A well‑worked move down the left ended with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia delivering into the area, where Marquinhos controlled the ball with his chest and finished to put PSG

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia almost scored again after. His low powerful shot forced another stop from Lukas Hradecky. Monaco’s first‑half attempt came in stoppage time when Paris Brunner sent a shot narrowly wide after a neat move.

The visitors had won both meetings with PSG season but a third straight victory seemed unlikely at first. PSG kept controlling the part of the second half while former Monaco player Maghnes Akliouche tried to hurt his old club with an inventive back‑heel from a free‑kick. Lukas Hradecky read it well.

Then before the hour Monaco found a shock equaliser. Jordan Teze’s hanging cross was met by Nazinho, whose header gave Monaco their shot on target of the match and changed the whole mood of the game.

PSG still seemed likely to score again but Monaco struck once more with 18 minutes remaining.

Aleksandr Golovin set up a shot before slipping a clever pass to Stanis Idumbo. The forward finished powerfully from an angle, on the left beating Matvey Safonov at his near post to complete the turnaround.

PSG thought they had secured a consecutive 2‑2 draw when Ferran Torres scored late on but the goal was ruled out for offside.

Monaco held firm to become the team to beat PSG in three consecutive Ligue 1 meetings since the club’s Qatar takeover.

For PSG this result is another sign. It is the time since 2023 that the European champions have gone four league matches without a win.
