Filipe Luís leads Monaco to comeback win over PSG in Ligue 1

Monaco overturned Paris Saint‑Germain 2‑1 on Friday 4 at the Parc des Princes, securing a comeback victory in the third round of Ligue 1. The win gave Brazilian coach Filipe Luís his fifth triumph in charge and a perfect record since taking over the French side, almost (Quase) nine months after their clash in the 2025 Intercontinental Cup final.

First‑half dominance by the champions

Paris dominated the opening period, registering eleven shots while Monaco managed only one. The French side opened the scoring in the 31st minute when Kvaratskhelia delivered a cross that Marquinhos headed past the Monaco goalkeeper.

Before the break, PSG created another clear chance when Brunner found himself in a favourable position but failed to extend the lead.

Monaco’s second‑half resurgence

After the interval, Monaco emerged more aggressive. Thirteen minutes into the second half, Teze supplied Nazinho, whose finish levelled the match.

Luis Enrique responded by introducing Ousmane Dembélé, yet three minutes later Golovin found Idumbo, who tapped in the decisive goal.
