Paris St-Germain, the reigning Champions League holders, continue to struggle with an inconsistent start to the Ligue 1 season as they suffered a late defeat against Monaco at their home ground, Parc des Princes. The visitors, who have maintained a perfect 100% record in their first three matches, secured a rare victory after goals from Flavio Nazinho and Stanis Idumbo in the second half.
PSG, on the other hand, took the lead through a close-range header from captain Marquinhos in the 31st minute, but failed to capitalize on Monaco's lack of shot threat before halftime. The Portuguese side fell behind 13 minutes into the second half, when Nazinho capitalized on Jordan Teze's cross at the back post. Idumbo added to Monaco's lead 14 minutes later, scoring past Matvey Safonov at his near post.
This defeat marked the first time PSG had lost a game with a lead at halftime since March 2021, when they were beaten by Nantes. As a result, Monaco have moved to the top of the table while PSG have fallen to 12th place.
