AS Monaco lost 3-1 to Paris FC at the Stade Jean-Bouin on Sunday, with Folarin Balogun scoring his first goal of the season.
AS Monaco's difficult start to the Ligue 1 season continued on Sunday with a 3-1 defeat away to Paris FC at the Stade Jean-Bouin. The result leaves the Monegasque side searching for consistency after a round nine fixture in which the hosts were the sharper side for long periods.
Folarin Balogun did find the net for the visitors, his first goal of the campaign, but it was not enough to prevent a third defeat of the season for the club from the Rocher. The performance will add further pressure on the coaching staff and squad ahead of the next round of fixtures.
For supporters following the Red and Whites from Monaco, the loss raises familiar questions about defensive solidity and squad depth as the side looks to climb back up the Ligue 1 table in the coming weeks.
