In the 69th minute, Balogun's goal made it 2-1 and seemed like it would win the principality team all three points. Romain Faivre, though, equalised with what seemed to be the game's final kick to give the home team a 2-2 draw. With three victories and two draws from its first five league games, Monaco maintained its lead in Ligue 1 despite the outcome.
It was a promising beginning for Balogun, who joined his new team in a €40 million trade from Arsenal last month. The 22-year-old was productive while on loan at Reims last season, and it looks like he'll keep scoring goals in Ligue 1. Balogun did well to immediately shift away from his man after Aleksandr Golovin found the USMNT striker in the area so that he could fire a left-footed effort that beat Yvon Mvogo at his near post.
