MONACO, Dec 9 : Folarin Balogun's lone goal secured AS Monaco a 1-0 victory over Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday, extending the French side's unbeaten streak in the competition to five matches.

Balogun broke the deadlock in the 68th minute from a corner to deceive substitute Galatasaray goalkeeper Gunay Guvenc, who had come on seconds before to replace the injured Ugurcan Cakir.

Cakir had saved Denis Zakaria's penalty in the 50th minute, following a VAR review for a Davinson Sanchez foul on Takumi Minamino. He also saved shots from Maghnes Akliouche and Minamino.

Balogun had wasted two promising chances before his winner, narrowly missing the target twice within a three-minute span just after the hour mark.
