This double confrontation between Metz and ASSE kept all its promises. We wanted a crazy evening, we had a completely crazy match. It started to the advantage of the Stéphanois with, after the 6th minute, the expulsion of Diallo for a very nasty foul on Appiah, who fortunately was not injured. However, this hard blow gives energy to Messins. Shortly after, Camara opened the scoring (17′).
At the start of the match, the Greens completely foiled. They are not there for this return match. They take water in the middle and are feverish defensively. Illustration by a (slight) foul by Cardona on Mikautadze in the area, who gives a penalty which he converts himself (25′, 2-0). At that time, the Greens remained in Ligue 2.
A crazy match, roller coaster emotions
But the Greens come back into their match from a corner with a goal from Léo Pétrot. The last quarter of an hour of the first half is to the advantage of ASSE. At the break, the two teams are back to back, on aggregate for the two matches (3-3).
The second period, the Greens respond. They have a series of good situations, but are always clumsy in the final gestures. We are experiencing a crazy match and roller coaster emotions. Especially in the 64th minute, when a goal from Maçon was refused by the referee (for reasons that are still hard to understand).
Despite everything, ASSE continued to push and, despite MBuku’s very good entry, the score did not change at the end of added time. The Greens and the Messins go into overtime. What torture.
At the end of the suspense, salvation will come from the one who has had a dark season. A season full of injuries. Wadji (entered in place of Sissoko) sends the Greens to Ligue 1 by equalizing 2-2.
