As the referee blew his whistle, Nouha Dicko (Paris FC striker) kicked the ball deep into his own half. They tapped the ball around for a few seconds, before Mamadou Mbow got a hold of it. He advanced a few steps with the ball then sent a long pass across the field to Mathieu Cafaro (Paris FC right midfielder).
The winger got the ball under control with his first touch and started running down the flank. A couple of Monaco players tried to intercept him, but he managed to pull through and sent a cross into the box as he reached the byline.
The ball zipped across the air and flew into the Monaco's penalty area. The box was a in a bit of disarray due to the earliness and unexpected nature of the attack. In the midst of that chaos, Jean-Phillipe Krasso (Paris FC's left midfielder) thrived. He lingered at the back post and managed to get to the ball with a diving header.
