spotlight on why Balogun and Teze were so influential in this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-teze-terrific\">Teze terrific<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being used sparingly by Adi Hutter in 2025, largely due to injury, it was excellent to see Teze put in such a strong shift at right-back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing a tremendous job of nullifying the dangerous Zuriko Davitashvili, his physicality, awareness, decision-making and athleticism ensured the Georgian star struggled to find much joy against Teze.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter

shift he produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While his performance didn&#8217;t grab the headlines, Teze deserves plenty of praise for stepping up to repay the faith of Hutter with such an accomplished outing in such a pivotal fixture. Not bad at all considering he&#8217;d only featured in three games totalling 79 minutes of action this year heading into this encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asmtitle-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-290174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asmtitle-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asmtitle-535x300.jpg 535w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/asmtitle.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>\u00a9 AS Monaco<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-balogun-proves-his-worth\">Balogun proves his worth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making his first start in 2025 following his frustrating shoulder injury, which he&#8217;s steadily being eased back from, Balogun marked the occasion nicely by scoring a classy goal and putting in a quality all-round performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Playing 90 minutes is definitely a positive thing for my fitness and confidence.
