AS Monaco overcame Olympique de Marseille 2-1 in the 28th matchday of Ligue 1, played on Sunday at Louis-II stadium. This win marks Monaco's seventh consecutive league victory, positioning them in the race for a podium spot and Champions League qualification.
Folarin Balogun starred with his 74th-minute goal. Capitalizing on Benjamin Pavard's botched clearance into his own half, the American accelerated past CJ Egan-Riley and perfectly lobbed goalkeeper Rulli from a tight angle on the right side of the box.
Monaco goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky excelled with seven saves, bolstering his defense despite Amine Gouiri's late goal after outmaneuvering Zakaria and Kehrer. For Marseille, Pavard ruined an otherwise decent display with his error, Egan-Riley contributed to both goals before getting injured in chase, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang underperformed, isolated and missing a late equalizer chance.
