MONACO, Dec 9 (Reuters) - 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.
