Balogun gives Monaco the lead after 55 seconds against PSG in Champions League playoff

American forward Folarin Balogun took less than one minute to give Monaco the lead against Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League playoff on Tuesday.
There was only 55 seconds on the clock at Stade Louis II when Balogun headed in a precise cross from the left by Aleksandr Golovin.
PSG was under some pressure heading into the game after a sixth defeat of the season on Friday led to an outburst by star striker Ousmane Dembélé questioning the attitude of his teammates.
The return leg is next Wednesday at Parc des Princes, with the winner advancing to the last 16.
PSG beat Brest 10-0 on aggregate in the playoffs last season. ___
