Mohammed Salisu netted his first UEFA Champions League goal on Wednesday night in AS Monaco's draw against Dinamo Zagreb.

The Ghanaian scored in the 74th minute of the game as the Ligue 1 side fought from two goals down to finish 2-2.

The home side took the lead in additional time of the opening half through Peter Sucic after Martin Baturina's pass.

Dinamo scored again after the break to double their lead in the 66th minute of the game.

However, Salisu halved the deficit for the away team, meeting Maghnes Akliouche's cross to head home his first-ever goal in the competition.

Salisu was only making his second appearance in the Champions League after his debut against Barcelona last month.

With just a minute away from full-time, Denis Zakaria grabbed the equaliser from the penalty spot to make it 2-2.

The result leaves Monaco on four points after two games having also beaten Barcelona in their first game.
