PSG 1-2 Monaco: Idumbo stunner hands Luis Enrique first home defeat (full match highlights)Monaco delivered a stunning blow to PSG's early-season ambitions with a 2-1 comeback victory at the Parc des Princes on 4 September 2026, handing Luis Enrique his first home defeat since taking charge. The hosts took the lead in the 31st minute when Marquinhos powered a header past the Monaco goalkeeper after a corner delivery from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. But Monaco responded with intent, and Flavio Nazinho equalized in the 58th minute with a brilliant strike from outside the box, set up by Jordan Teze. The decisive moment came in the 72nd minute when substitute Stanis Idumbo, who had been on the pitch for just four minutes, latched onto Aleksandr Golovin's perfectly weighted pass and fired into the near corner past Gianluigi Donnarumma. This was a night of celebration for the visitors, with Golovin pulling the strings in midfield and creating the winning goal with a moment of pure quality. PSG dominated possession with 61 percent and registered 15 shots, but Monaco were far more clinical, converting their 11 attempts into two crucial goals. Referee Jerome Brisard issued yellow cards to Lucas Hernandez in the 68th minute and Jordan Teze. The victory sends Monaco to the top of Ligue 1 with a perfect nine points, while PSG drop to third with six points, two behind their conquerors. Monaco boss Adi Hutter described the win as a statement of intent, while Luis Enrique admitted his side were punished for their profligacy in front of goal. This result raises serious questions about PSG's ability to dominate Ligue 1 this season, and the pressure is already mounting on the Spanish coach to find solutions. FranceMenFootball |
