Strasbourg wins the Eastern derby against Metz

Metz 0-2 Strasbourg

^{Goals: Ajorque (50} e ) and Aholou (91 ^{e ) for Strasbourg}

The ship messin continues to sink.

For the hundredth of the derby of the Is in the elite, Strasbourg did not have to force its talent at Saint-Symphorien to win a third time in a row against Metz.

It only took 40 seconds for the Alsatians to invade the Lorraine camp and for a head on Guilbert’s bar to send the first thrill in the stadium (1 ^re ). Nyamsi, equally at ease in the aerial field, in turn hit Caillard’s upper upright following a corner (9 ^e )) . FC Metz, which saw seven of its executives leaving for CAN , curls up in his camp and proceeds only against attack, without succeeding in being dangerous. On the other hand, Julien Stéphan’s men are not really more inspired until the end of the first act.

As at the start of the game, the visitors come back from the changing rooms with drums beating on a shabby lawn. On the left side, Bellegarde sends a millimeter center to Ajorque who, with a head, deceives Caillard, however irreproachable until then (0-1, 50 ^e )) . The slender strasbourg scorer is even very close to offering himself a double with a volley, but the goalkeeper Metz this time wins his duel (59 ^e ). The usual substitute for Oukidja makes a series of saves to keep his team in the match, but Aholou comes to put the lid on following a scramble (0-2, 91 e ) , a few seconds before the final whistle.

The RCSA achieves the fine operation by climbing to seventh place, while Metz finishes the penultimate weekend.
