Match Report
Monaco edged Marseille 2-1 in a gripping Ligue 1 fixture on Sunday, making it seven wins in a row. Folarin Balogun's audacious chip over the goalkeeper was the moment of the match — clinical, cheeky, and ultimately decisive.
Aleksandr Golovin opened the scoring in the 59th minute, poking home on the volley from a Jordan Teze cross. Balogun then doubled the lead in the 74th after a Benjamin Pavard misclearance handed him space to loft the ball over keeper Rulli from a tight angle — his sixth consecutive league game with a goal. Amine Gouiri gave Marseille hope with a powerful 85th-minute finish, but Lukas Hradecky's seven-save night — against 19 total shots — kept the door firmly shut.
Monaco now sit level with Marseille on 49 points, just one behind Lille and a Champions League spot. For Marseille, it's a painful first back-to-back league defeat of the season, and a timely reminder that the top-four race is far from settled.
