Metz 1 – 1 Saint-Etienne

Goals: Boulaya (9^e) for Messins // Khazri (16^e) for ASSE

Ligue 1 has talent.

A clash between the last two teams in the standings can also give rise to a quality show. The proof with this draw between Metz and Saint-Étienne in Saint-Symphorien (1-1).

Woe to those who arrived late in Metz or in front of their TV. They then missed the opening goal of Farid Boulaya with a sublime direct free kick (1-0, 9^e). But especially the totally crazy equalizer of Wahbi Khazri (1-1, 16^e). While he recovers the leather in his own area, the Tunisian international advances, sees the opposing goalkeeper far from his cage and then lands a strike from 68 meters which ends in the back of the net, thus offering himself the most distant goal. in Ligue 1.

So yes, the rest of the meeting will be less extraordinary than this goal even if Alexandre Oukidja took his revenge in front of Wahbi Khazri (38^e). Before Etienne Green avoided a defeat to the Greens which would have been cruel by deflecting a header from Kouyaté in quick succession (87^e) and a strike from Nguette (88^e).

Ultimately, this draw does not help either of the two teams who remain stuck in the red zone.
