Jonathan Ikoné ignited the stands as early as the 4th minute, capitalizing on a precise assist from Simon. Before the Monegasques could regroup, veteran Ciro Immobile doubled the lead in the 8th minute, connecting with a cross from Marshall Munetsi.

Monaco's nightmare intensified in the 21st minute when Ikoné once again showed quick thinking on a counter-attack to make it 3-0. Paris FC goalkeeper Kevin Trapp also played a crucial role, denying two clear-cut chances just before the third goal.

The visitors' star, Folarin Balogun, pulled one back in the 36th minute, scoring for the seventh consecutive game, but that was all Adi Hütter's side could muster.

The second half saw a tactical battle unfold, and the introduction of Paul Pogba for Monaco in the 69th minute failed to provide the anticipated spark. Instead, in the 72nd minute, substitute Luca Koleosho sealed the deal with a thunderous strike from distance that ricocheted off the post and into the net for the final 4-1 scoreline.

With this triumph, Paris FC climbed to 12th place with 35 points. Monaco remains in 5th place with 49 points.
