"It took just 55 seconds for Monaco to make the breakthrough, with Golovin hanging over a pinpoint cross from the left for Balogun to nod into a gaping net. Balogun's second goal arrived in the 18th minute, with the United States international slotting beyond Matvey Safonov after being released in behind by Maghnes Akliouche. Wout Faes gifted PSG a route back into the game when he chopped down Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in full flight inside the area,"
"However, Dembele's exit actually prompted PSG's fightback as his replacement Doue drilled in off the far post, and then, four minutes before half-time, it was his saved shot that fell kindly for Hakimi to fire back across goal and make it 2-2. Things got even worse for Monaco three minutes into the second half, with a VAR review resulting in Golovin being sent off for scraping his studs down the shin of Vitinha."
Monaco struck early, with Folarin Balogun scoring after 55 seconds and again in the 18th minute to lead 2-0. PSG earned a penalty after Wout Faes fouled Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but Philipp Kohn saved Vitinha's spot-kick. Ousmane Dembele, a pre-match fitness doubt, limped off and was replaced by Desire Doue in the 27th minute. Doue scored and his saved shot led to Achraf Hakimi's equaliser before Aleksandr Golovin received a VAR-upheld red card early in the second half. Doue completed the turnaround with a 67th-minute winner following a Warren Zaire-Emery offload.
