Monaco came to the Parc des Princes and took all three points in Ligue 1's third round, winning 2:1. They are now top of the table alongside their own form, while PSG sit in twelfth with two draws and nothing else to show.
PSG took the lead in the 31st minute through Marcos Aoás Corrêa. They kept the ball and created the chances — 10 shots on target to Monaco's 2, with expected goals at 2.19 against 0.52. And here's the thing, they were still ahead when Monaco pulled one back in the 58th minute through Flavio Nazinho.
Monaco changed shape and tempo. Vanderson came on in the 52nd minute, and by then the visitors had found a way through. Stanis Idumbo made it 2:1 in the 72nd minute, and that was the moment. PSG had the ball, Monaco had the result.
The statistics tell you where the game was lost. PSG finished with 68% possession, 754 passes, 20 key passes and two big chances created. Monaco made 352 passes, four key passes and one big chance, but their goalkeeper made nine saves. Shots accuracy was 43% for PSG, 50% for Monaco. One goal means chances went begging.
Monaco move to the top of the table with six points from two games. PSG remain on two, still unbeaten but with nowhere to go. The visitors held their nerve and took what they needed.
