"Livewire winger Maghnes Akliouche opened the scoring for Monaco and American forward Folarin Balogun sealed the win with a deflected strike in the 73rd minute. Monaco beat PSG 1-0 in the league in September and has taken the lead in all four games this season, including two in the Champions League."
"Akliouche pounced in the 27th minute after terrible defending from Warren Zaïre-Emery, who tried to dribble out of his penalty area and lost the ball. Balogun reacted quickly to combine with Akliouche to his right, and he slammed the ball in off the post."
"Fifth-place Monaco grabbed a second goal 10 minutes into the second half when midfielder Aleksandr Golovin, who had just come on, slid the ball into the bottom corner after latching onto a cross from the right. He almost scored again moments later with a superb dipping strike from 25 meters."
PSG suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Monaco in Ligue 1, marking their fourth league loss this season. Monaco's winger Maghnes Akliouche opened the scoring in the 27th minute after PSG's Warren Zaïre-Emery lost possession while attempting to dribble out of the penalty area. Aleksandr Golovin added a second goal early in the second half. PSG's Bradley Barcola scored a consolation goal, but American forward Folarin Balogun sealed Monaco's victory with a deflected strike in the 73rd minute. The loss allows Lens to potentially close the gap at the top with a win over Metz on Sunday. PSG faces Chelsea in their Champions League last-16 first leg on Wednesday.
