FC Metz did the job. After having recovered significantly in Ligue 2 by winning its last two matches at Ajaccio (1-0) et against Caen (1-0)he has ensured the cut of France, on the occasion of his entry into contention at Obernai, a Regional 2 team, where he won 3-0 thanks to late goals from Ibou Sané, Simon Elisor and Sadibou Sané.
And at patience is a key in this type of meeting, there was a five level gap between the two teams, FC Metz had to wait for the 62nd minute to finally open the score following a free kick obtained by Matthieu Udol, struck by Gauthier Hein and taken by Ibou Sané with a beautiful cross header (1-0, 62nd). Late delivery for Messins who, on the other hand, were not worried defensively, and took cover less than ten minutes later thanks to the first goal of the season from Simon Elisor, also a header after a very aerial cross from Jessy Deminguet (2-0, 71st). Sadibou Sané added a third goal by taking a corner from Malick Mbaye, who entered during the match (3-0, 89th)
Before that, Metz had largely dominated this meeting, had shown itself to be dangerous thanks in particular to some breakthroughs from Asoro in full view but, to be able to take cover earlier, he lacked a little rhythm and character to these Garnets, to the eleven very reworked as expected. The young goalkeeper Alexis Mirbach, called to settle on the bench permanently due to Pape Sy’s injury, but also the winger Kévin Van Den Kerkof, and the attackers Ibou Sané, Joël Asoro and Simon Elisor, we all started .
