"Balogun put the hosts in the lead in the 57th minute with his fourth goal in his last four appearances in all competitions. Luck was on his side when his header connected with a cross; the ball bounced back on an opponent then on his leg before crossing the goalline."
"After just three goals in his previous 15 games, the former Arsenal player appears to be hitting form at just the right time ahead of this summer's World Cup. Balogun is set to play a key role in the United States team as it heads into the tournament, which the U.S. will co-host alongside Canada and Mexico."
Folarin Balogun continued his impressive scoring streak by netting for Monaco in their 2-0 victory over Angers in Ligue 1. Balogun's 57th-minute goal marked his fourth in four consecutive appearances across all competitions. Simon Adingra added a second goal in the 62nd minute with a curled shot from outside the box. Monaco secured their third consecutive win and climbed to seventh in the standings, eight points ahead of 12th-placed Angers. The 24-year-old American forward, who previously struggled with just three goals in 15 games, has regained form at an opportune moment before the upcoming World Cup, where he is expected to play a significant role for the United States.
