On the other side of the globe, the Monegasque striker scored again with the United States against Panama but was unable to prevent his team’s defeat (2-1) during the second day of the group stage of the Copa America.
He is on fire at the start of the competition! Already the author of a goal against Bolivia for the United States’ entry into the Copa América, Folarin Balogun did it again tonight against Panama, becoming the joint top scorer of the tournament with two goals.
A sensational goal
Just a few minutes after Timothy Weah’s exclusion (18th), Balo’ allowed his team to take the lead. Following a failed clearance by the Panamanian defense and after an attempted one-two, the striker decided to fire an uncontrolled shot from outside the area. It was powerful and found its way into the goal with the help of the post (1-0, 22nd). Unfortunately for him, the United States would subsequently lose 2-1.
MVP of the meeting
Despite the victory of the 43rd nation in the world, it was our Monegasque who was elected player of the match, rewarding his fantastic goal and his contribution throughout the match (100% of duels won on the ground, 3 fouls suffered). With this misstep, the United States will play their quarter-final qualification against Uruguay on July 2 (3 a.m.), and will have to win on the last day of the group stage. Give him a Ball -
