Monaco Tops Ligue 1 After Comeback Win Over PSG

Filipe Luís’s unbeaten start has propelled Monaco to first place, highlighting PSG’s early struggles.

Overview

  • Monaco overturned a first-half deficit to beat Paris Saint‑Germain 2-1 in Paris, with Flávio Nazinho and Stanis Idumbo scoring in the second half to complete the comeback on Friday.
  • The win kept Filipe Luís perfect in official matches since his July appointment and was reported by some outlets as his fifth straight victory in charge, a mark that lifted Monaco to the top of Ligue 1.
  • PSG remain without a league win after two draws and played the match without left‑back Nuno Mendes because of suspension, a combination that has intensified scrutiny of the champions’ early form.
  • In Portugal’s early domestic rounds and cup ties, Sporting beat Nacional (goals from Luis Suárez and Flávio Gonçalves), Benfica won 3-0 at Marítimo with Leandro Barreiro scoring twice, and Benfica’s women’s futsal team claimed the Supertaça under coach Maria Martins.
  • Momentum is also shaping lower tiers: Varzim have started with four straight wins across Liga 3 and the Taça de Portugal with a strong goal difference, and Tondela beat FC Porto B 3-0 to underline their early positive form.
