League leaders Paris Saint-Germain suffered a shock 1-0 defeat away to Monaco, marking only their second loss of the season, after Takumi Minamino scored the decisive goal midway through the second half.
According to a report from 101 Great Goals, Paris Saint-Germain suffered a 1-0 defeat against Monaco on Saturday at Stade Louis II, marking only their second loss in Ligue 1 this season.
The champions’ run of three consecutive league victories came to an end, a result that opens the door for second-placed Marseille to potentially move to the top of the table.
The sole goal of the match came from former Liverpool striker Takumi Minamino, who scored his second goal in as many games for the hosts.
In the 68th minute, the Japan forward “expertly controlled Aleksandr Golovin’s pass from the left and clip[ped] the ball past Chevalier,” a moment that proved to be the difference between the sides.
Monaco faced a difficult final period when defender Thilo Kehrer was sent off “with 10 minutes remaining” after hauling down a PSG player.
However, Luis Enrique’s side was unable to make their numerical advantage count.
The victory lifts Monaco up to sixth in the French top flight and serves as a positive response to their recent Champions League draw against Pafos.
Celebrating the result, AS Monaco posted a triumphant message:
“✓ Victoire Clean sheet 1️⃣-0⃣ #ASMPSG”.
