Paris Saint-Germain 1-2 Monaco: Hrádecký's nine saves hold firm

Key numbers

  • 23 shots to 4, yet Monaco won
  • Nine Hrádecký saves protected the lead

Monaco climb to the top after a comeback

Monaco came from behind to win 1-2 in Paris and go top of Ligue 1 on nine points. Marquinhos had put the hosts ahead before the break, but the visitors turned the match around after the interval. Paris Saint-Germain remain 12th.

Plenty of shots, but many from distance

Paris Saint-Germain fired in 23 shots, yet 15 of them came from outside the box and their xG per shot was only 0.10. That suggests a side producing volume rather than clear openings, though the data cannot say why. Monaco's shots were slightly better on average, though there were far fewer of them.

Every Monaco shot on target was a goal

Monaco turned both of their shots on target into goals. Paris Saint-Germain's xG of 2.32 produced a single goal, largely because Lukáš Hrádecký made nine saves. Matvey Safonov, at the other end, recorded none.

The go-ahead goal arrived from level terms

Nazinho equalised in the 58th minute, set up by substitute Jordan Teze, and Stanis Idumbo Muzambo put Monaco ahead in the 72nd minute from Aleksandr Golovin's assist. That second goal turned a draw into a lead and was worth +1.3 FN xPts, well above the equaliser. It proved to be the winner.

Player of the match
Lukáš Hrádecký 8.5Dominant

He made nine saves and conceded once.

Hrádecký earned his FN Score mainly through goalkeeping, and the nine saves are the evidence. The only goal he conceded was Marquinhos's in the 31st minute. Monaco then scored in the 58th and 72nd minutes to take the lead, and the keeper helped protect it in a match where his side managed just two shots on target.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth

How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist.

31' Marquinhos Goal · scorer +0.4 · assist Khvicha Kvaratskhelia +0.2 +0.6
58' Nazinho Goal · scorer +0.4 · assist Jordan Teze +0.2 +0.6
72' Stanis Idumbo Muzambo Goal · scorer +0.9 · assist Aleksandr Golovin +0.4 +1.3
Paris Saint Germain Expected (last two seasons) 2.2Own moments +0.6Opponent moments −1.9Time effect −0.9→ League points won 0
Monaco Expected (last two seasons) 0.7Own moments +1.9Opponent moments −0.5Time effect +0.9→ League points won 3

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
