AS Monaco's seven-game winning streak ended with a 4-1 defeat to Paris FC on Friday. Folarin Balogun extended his scoring streak to seven consecutive Ligue 1 matches, equaling Neymar's 2022 feat with Paris Saint-Germain. The United States striker found the net in the 36th minute, bringing his total to one game short of Monaco's record.

Paris FC dominated early, scoring three times in the first 24 minutes through Jonathan Ikoné's brace and a goal from Ciro Immobile. The capital club's victory extends their unbeaten run to six matches under coach Antoine Kombouaré, who has collected 12 points from 18 possible since taking over in late February. Paul Pogba made his return from injury in the 69th minute, marking his first appearance since early December following a persistent left calf problem.

Despite the loss, Monaco remains fifth in the standings as they chase a Champions League spot. The top three teams qualify directly for next season's competition, with the fourth-place finisher entering qualifying rounds. This defeat serves as a reality check for Monaco, who had been riding high with their previous winning streak.
