Marquinhos puts PSG ahead against Monaco with shoulder finish from Kvaratskhelia cross | OneFootball

Marquinhos put PSG ahead against Monaco with a shoulder finish from a Khvitcha Kvaratskhelia cross at Parc des Princes on Friday in Ligue 1’s third round. The captain’s effort bounced in front of goal, wrong-footing Hradecky in the 31st minute.

As reported by L'Équipe. The move began when a corner was cleared, Warren Zaïre-Emery gathered and played forward to Fabian Ruiz.

Inside the Monaco box, Ruiz quickly turned and continued the move by sliding Kvaratskhelia in ahead of him. The Georgian swung in a fierce first-time cross with his left foot.

Having slipped free of Nazinho, Marquinhos met it with his left shoulder and, with a slice of luck, directed it on target.

The 32-year-old defender has two goals in three Ligue 1 matches this season, making him PSG’s joint-top scorer to date.
