Monaco·Goals·USMNT striker Folarin Balogun scored for the first time since the World Cup, though his side lost to Paris FC. His last goal before this weekend came in the United States' 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina at the tournament. Balogun's standing had looked promising after that match, but he has spent much of the four months since in limbo. His World Cup was overshadowed by a red card in the Bosnia game, and he was then caught up in a scandal he said he wanted no part of. A possible summer move away from Monaco also fell through, leaving his club career stalled.
Why it mattersBalogun's first goal since the World Cup came in a defeat, leaving Monaco seventh, five points off Paris Saint-Germain after nine Ligue 1 games.
