Fourth in Ligue 2 before hosting Paris FC, FC Metz scored a great victory against PFC (3-1), returning to second place in the standings. The Messins were able to count on their numerous Senegalese, including Pape Amadou Diallo and new recruit Idrissa Gueye.
FC Metz is finding beautiful colors again. A week after standing up to FC Lorient (0-0), Stéphane Le Mignan’s men put an end to three draws in a row in the Championship by recording a convincing success on Saturday (3-1) against Paris Football Club, co-leader of Ligue 2 before this 19th day. A success acquired in the second half for the Club à la Croix de Lorraine who moved back to the top of the ranking by seizing second place with the same number of units as Lorient (1st) and the PFC (3rd).
Metz thanks its Senegalese
Dominant in the first 20 minutes but overwhelmed in the process, the Messins were able to count on their Senegalese colony. Sadibou Sané, Aboubacar Lo, Pape Amadou Diallo, Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly and… Idrissa Gueye: five Senegalese were in the starting lineup of Le Mignyear. Recruited a few days ago and started for his first time at the Stade Saint-Symphorien, Gueye performed brilliantly by restoring the advantage to 2-1 to the Grenats after 55 minutes. The 18-year-old scored with a header from a Hein serve.
-However, the key man in this success for Messins played on the left wing and is called Pape Amadou Diallo. The number 10 of the Grenats had materialized the very good start of his team by opening the score in the 16th, with a nice flat foot. Then at 2-1 with 20 minutes remaining, he made completely change the meeting. Served in space by Hein, Diallo hooked onto his right foot and lit Nkambadio. A fatal double for the PFC who were never able to get back on track against a Metz team who are back in the race for the climb.
