"Minamino provided a sign of things to come as he forced Lucas Chevalier into a brilliant stop just before the half-hour mark at Stade Louis II, firing a sweet volley on target at the near post. PSG then survived a double scare from Mohammed Salisu before the break as the Ghanian first struck the woodwork with an unmarked header, before seeing a close-range goal off Caio Henrique's inviting cross ruled out for offside."
"The visitors came out after the break with plenty of intent as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia poked a clever shot across goal to the far post, forcing Lukas Hradecky into action before Senny Mayulu sent a deft header agonisingly wide. Minamino finally broke the deadlock in the 68th minute, collecting Aleksandr Golovin's clipped cross neatly before steering a composed half-volley past a rooted Chevalier."
"Monaco extended their strong record against PSG on Saturday, having now beaten them more often than any other side in Ligue 1 with 46 wins in 99 matches. PSG, though, will feel they should have got more from the game, having generated almost double the expected goals (xG) - 1.01 xG to Monaco's 0.52. Despite producing fewer chances, Monaco were the more clinical side in front of goal, registering five shots on target to PSG's four."
Takumi Minamino scored in the 68th minute to give ten-man Monaco a 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain at Stade Louis II. Minamino had earlier forced Lucas Chevalier into a fine save and later converted Aleksandr Golovin's clipped cross with a composed half-volley. Mohammed Salisu hit the woodwork and had a close-range effort ruled out for offside before halftime. PSG created chances after the break but failed to score. Thilo Kehrer was sent off in the 80th minute for a foul on Ibrahim Mbaye. PSG posted higher expected goals (1.01 to 0.52), yet Monaco were more clinical, registering five shots on target to PSG's four. Monaco sit sixth while PSG retain a two-point lead.
