Ghanaian centre-back Mohammed Salisu delivered a match-winning performance for AS Monaco on Saturday, scoring the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over Toulouse at the Stade Louis II to end the team’s frustrating streak of four straight draws.
The decisive moment came in the 3rd minute, when Salisu soared above the Toulouse defence to head home a superbly placed cross from Kassoum Quattara, igniting cheers from the home crowd and restoring belief within Damien Perrinelle’s side.
Beyond his crucial goal, Salisu stood out with a commanding defensive display, showcasing leadership, composure, and excellent positioning to help Monaco secure a deserved clean sheet. The Ghanaian has grown into a key figure in the heart of Monaco’s backline.
The win marks a vital step forward for Damien Perrinelle’s men, who are determined to stay within touching distance of Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue 1 title race and strengthen their push for a European spot.
Monaco will now aim to build on this renewed momentum as they prepare for their next league fixture, with Salisu’s resurgence providing a fresh spark in their campaign.
