Moses Simon Scores His Third Goal of the Season as Paris FC End Monaco’s Unbeaten Run

Nigerian international Moses Simon continued his excellent run of form in France as his second-half strike earned Paris FC a vital 1-0 win over AS Monaco on Saturday in a thrilling Ligue 1 encounter at the Stade Louis II.

The 29-year-old winger was once again the difference-maker, netting the only goal of the match to hand Paris FC all three points and bring an end to Monaco’s unbeaten start under new manager Sébastien Pocognoli.

After a tense first half with limited chances for both sides, Simon broke the deadlock shortly after the restart. Maxime Lopez, captain of Paris FC, danced past a challenge from Monaco substitute Stanley Idumbo before finding Simon near the edge of the box.

The Super Eagles forward’s low shot took a slight deflection and looped awkwardly over goalkeeper Philipp Kohn, nestling into the back of the net to spark celebrations from the visiting bench.

The goal, Simon’s third of the season, proved decisive as Paris FC defended resolutely to secure their second league win of the campaign.
