I thought that Balogun looked match rusty for Mainz. I've definitely seen him play better. Hopefully he stays healthy, rediscovers his best form and is playing week in and week out as the World Cup approaches.

Nice summary!

I gather he got injured in the warm-up. Apparently, he was in the starting 11 but hurt himself warming up.
