"But the 20-year-old France striker, who netted twice in last season's final win, scored two and set up the other to mastermind a stunning shift in fortunes at Stade Louis II. It was a thumping anti-climax for Sebastien Pocognoli's side, who looked to be cruising when Folarin Balogun scored twice in the first 20 minutes but played the majority of the second half with 10 men thanks to Aleksandr Golovin's sending off."
"The frantic pace was set immediately as Monaco drew first blood with just a minute gone. Golovin provided the spark, burrowing in on the left and standing a cross up for Balogun to head home. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia saw a shot blocked by the alert Wout Faes when PSG recovered sufficiently to mount a response but despite modest possession, Monaco managed to double their lead in the 19th minute."
Paris St Germain trailed Monaco 2-0 inside 20 minutes after Folarin Balogun scored twice. Philipp Kohn saved a penalty from Vitinha and Ousmane Dembélé left injured, prompting Doue to come on. Doue scored two goals and provided an assist for Bradley Barcola's strike, with VAR confirming the first, turning the match into a 3-2 victory for PSG at Stade Louis II. Monaco played much of the second half with ten men following Aleksandr Golovin's sending off. The result gives PSG a dramatic lead in the Champions League play-off first leg.
