U.S. men's national team star Folarin Balogun scored a stunning goal on Friday as the striker helped lead Monaco to a 3-1 upset win over Paris Saint-Germain. It continued Balogun's stunning form against PSG in particular, as the forward has now scored three times against the French giants this season.
Folarin Balogun expanded on his fine run of form, scoring Monaco's first goal in a comfortable 2-0 win over Ligue 1 rivals Angers. The USMNT striker bagged the opener just shy of the hour mark with a close-range strike, his fourth goal in his last seven games. Balogun now has 11 goals in all competitions, almost as many as his first two Monaco seasons combined.
Christian Pulisic is hunting for fitness for Milan, and Folarin Balogun could deliver a big three points for his team if he continues his current form.
Folarin Balogun scored two goals inside 18 minutes in Monaco's Champions League knockout round playoff with Ligue 1 rivals Paris Saint-Germain. The goals were Balogun's fourth and fifth in the Champions League this season and among the most vital scored in the striker's career. Balogun is the first American with a brace in a UCL knockout game.
