Paris FC end matchday five in Ligue 1 in a podium position. The Parisian club sit third, unbeaten in five games and five points behind leaders Monaco.
The 2-1 win over Strasbourg last Saturday solidified this standing. Ilan Kebbal opened the scoring in the 18th minute from an assist by Lassine Sinayoko, before Pablo Pagis doubled the lead in the second half. Moustapha Mbow's late own goal for Strasbourg did not change the final outcome.
This result is part of a strong run of form. The starting eleven has not lost since the opening day defeat at Angers (3-2) on August 15. The current unbeaten streak includes three wins and two draws, including a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Lyon the previous week. Lassine Sinayoko, with four goals this season, remains the most prolific attacker.
The current league table places Paris FC sixth with eight points, though the third-place mention refers to the provisional standings at the close of the matchday. The team has scored eight goals and conceded seven. Attention now turns to the next fixture, an away trip to Lorient scheduled for October 10 after the international break. The full upcoming schedule can be found on our fixtures page.
The squad will be without the sidelined Emmanuel Mbemba and Nhoa Sangui. The break provides valuable recovery time before the season resumes, with the aim being to maintain this consistency. The final match before the pause was a home victory in front of their own fans.
