Stunning is not the adjective I would use for that goal but very stoked to see him on the score sheet - he needed that

 

They were stunned he scored?

Very pleased he hit it.

 

Stunning by Le Havre to gift the chance that Balogun finished with authority.

 

Monaco players all seem so relieved/happy for Balo - undoubtably the drought has been weighing on him and they're so happy to help him break the ice again.

 

From Stunted to Stunner: Folarin Balogun at AS Monaco

 

Le Havre nuts?

 

Yeah, it was a decent finish but nothing special.

The good thing was the confidence with which he struck the ball.

A lot of players with a goal drought would have snatched at it

When's the last weekend all three of Balo, Pepi and Sargent had goal contributions?

Much needed.

All are still young for strikers.

 

add Pulisic to the mix and we are going to beat pannama 3-0 as a warm up to a record breaking 4-0 vs Mexico!!!

 

Why is no one talking about those oldschool rugby shirt collars!

Loved most how he was begging for the ball. Seems to have picked up a bit of confidence of late. The fans went wild. Both of them.

 

He had 3 great chances. Skied one, hit the post on the other. If Monaco had not got that last minute winner, I imagine he probably would've been at least partially blamed. He was pretty good in the buildup, could've had 2 assists and it's good He got the goal. But still a lot to improve.

 

Balogoal!!

I like the sound of that.

Let's hear some more of it

 

Bein Sports actually wants to know if Balogun is the best striker in Ligue 1.

My question is if Folarin Balogun's mother is actually running the Bein Sports twitter feed? Between this question and last week's "stunning" goal, I think it's a fair question to ask.

🤩 Folarin Balogun is writing his name in gold in the history of AS Monaco 🔥 by scoring a goal on the club's centenary 💪 Is Balogun the best striker in Ligue 1? 👀#beINSPORTS #Ligue1 #Balogun #FolarinBalogun #ASMonaco #ASMMHSC #Montpellier pic.twitter.com/UQtGrpqRjo

Balogun played the 2nd half. Was kicked in the final minutes and earned a PK that enabled Monaco to equalize. 2-2 final.

 

Monaco has been drawing all the cards lately. Like 3 times now they've snuck a result out of thin air? Good for them, but the luck's gonna run out at some point.

 

FWIW that'll go down as an assist in the dressing room and the FO

 

Fake it till he makes it ????

 

Balogun scores in the 21st min. to give Monaco the lead against Rennes

 

Great Balo fire - don't look now but Monaco on top of the Un for a few moments at least.

Balo came out at 64' btw. Monaco still on top with about 10 + added time to go.
