Sports - Champions League: PSG Beat Monaco as Doué Scores Brace Off the Bench
Desire Doue scored twice and assisted Achraf Hakimi to lead PSG's comeback after being two goals down and facing a penalty miss against 10-man Monaco, UEFA reported.
- On Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain recovered from a two-goal deficit to beat AS Monaco 3-2 in the first leg in Monaco, completing a dramatic comeback.
- Early pressure from Monaco and a saved spot-kick left PSG trailing as Folarin Balogun scored after 55 seconds and again on 18 minutes, while Philipp Koehn saved Vitinha’s penalty and Ousmane Dembele was injured.
- VAR intervention changed the game's momentum when Aleksandr Golovin was sent off after a VAR review upgraded his challenge to a red card early in the second half and rejected Monaco's foul claim before PSG's goal was confirmed.
- The tie remains alive, with Monaco relieved to head to Paris after playing with 10 men, and PSG favored to progress to the last 16 next Wednesday.
- The 20-year-old substitute Desire Doue, who replaced Dembele, struck two superb goals and set up Achraf Hakimi's equaliser, with his second on 67 minutes.
