"Paris Saint-Germain recovered from going two goals behind to secure a 3-2 victory over Monaco in the first leg of their Champions League play-off tie. The holders, forced into a play-off to ensure their place in the last 16, were stunned when Falorin Balogun put their fellow Ligue 1 counterparts ahead with two goals, either side of a missed Vitinha penalty."
"But Desire Doue inspired the comeback for Luis Enrique's men after netting minutes after coming on in the 25th minute before his saved shot saw Achraf Hakimi level the game before half-time. Aleksandr Golovin's red card early in the second half but the game firmly in PSG's favour, with Doue netting his second of the night to secure the victory, though the tie is undoubtedly still tightly poised ahead of the second leg next week."
