AS Monaco's perfect streak comes to an end in the capital as Paris FC deliver a clinical performance to stop the Principality side's momentum.
AS Monaco's remarkable run of form came to an abrupt halt at the Stade Jean-Bouin, where a determined Paris FC side brought an end to the Red and Whites' seven-match winning sequence.
The Principality club had entered the fixture in exceptional form, fresh from their impressive 2-1 triumph against Olympique de Marseille that had extended their perfect streak. With close to 1,000 travelling supporters making the journey to Paris and club president Dmitry Rybolovlev watching from the stands, expectations were high for an eighth consecutive victory.
However, Paris FC proved to be resolute opponents, delivering a composed performance that frustrated Monaco's attacking ambitions and ultimately secured a result that will boost their own campaign significantly.
The defeat represents Monaco's first setback in nearly two months, ending a period of sustained excellence that had seen the team climb the table and build serious momentum in their pursuit of higher league positioning.
