UCL: Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu endures defeat with Monaco to Benfica

Mohammed Salisu came on as a substitute in the second half of AS Monaco's UEFA Champions League clash against Benfica, which ended in a 3-2 defeat for the French side.

Monaco took an early lead through Eliesse Ben Seghir’s goal, but Benfica equalized in the second half via Vangelis Pavlidis. Maghnes Akliouche briefly put Monaco back in front before a red card for Wilfried Singo left them with 10 men.

Salisu was introduced in the 63rd minute to strengthen Monaco's defense, but Benfica capitalized on their numerical advantage. Arthur Cabral and Zeki Amdouni scored late goals to secure Benfica’s comeback victory.

Despite Salisu’s efforts, Monaco’s defensive lapses allowed Benfica to take all three points
