Paris Saint-Germain defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1-1 at home to Monaco, staying in first place in the French league on Sunday after Neymar won and scored a point. Neymar clung onto Lionel Messi's descent down the left and cut inside central defender Guillermo Maripan, who managed to protect him with an outstretched leg. Following a video review, the referee dismissed PSG's penalty charges but then gave the kick.
