The goals

Despite the defeat, Metz were the ones who opened the scoring. In the sixth minute, Ismael Traoré took advantage of a corner taken by Lamine Camara and sent a low shot into the middle of the goal.

However, the equalizer came soon after, at 12, with Brendan Chardonnet. The athlete took advantage of the free kick after the corner kick and hit a precise finish, also in the center of the goal.

The turning point came at 31, still in the first half, with Kamory Doumbia. The athlete received a great pass from Del Castillo, was one-on-one with the goalkeeper and coolly sent it into the back of the net.

Before the end of the first half, the home team expanded with Steve Mounié, at 38. The player took advantage of Martín Satriano’s rise and sent in a header, with no chance of defense for the opposing archer.

Brest reached the fourth goal in the 15th minute of the second half, with Martín Satriano, who headed in a corner taken by Del Castillo,

Metz’s reaction began at 29, with Georges Mikautadze. The number 10 received it from Arthur Atta and finished in the left corner of the goal.

Six minutes later, the player scored again. This time, he took advantage of the rebound inside the box to score Metz’s third and final goal of the game.
