Paris Saint-Germain secured a hard-fought victory against AS Monaco despite a tense finish at the Parc des Princes. PSG dominated much of the match after Marquinhos and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored in quick succession, putting the French champions in control. The home side looked comfortable until Monaco's Jordan Teze pulled one back late, creating a nervy finish.

Monaco's task became even more difficult when Mamadou Coulibaly received a red card, leaving the visitors with 10 men for the closing stages. The numerical advantage allowed PSG to manage the game more effectively, though they couldn't completely shut down Monaco's late surge. Teze's goal in the dying minutes forced the champions to dig deep defensively.

This victory maintains PSG's momentum in their title defense, showcasing their ability to grind out results even when not at their best. The win demonstrates the depth and resilience of Luis Enrique's squad, with different players stepping up to secure three crucial points in the Ligue 1 race.
