Buts : Jallow (49e), Mikautade (52e et 72e) for Garnets
Expulsion: Chick (40e) for the Girondins
The elevator specialists are back.
In an extremely important match for the rise in the elite, Metz logically dominated a Bordeaux team reduced to ten after the rapid expulsion of its goalkeeper (3-0). Unsurprisingly, the two formations feared each other at the start, and neither managed to wrap up the debates. It then took a twist of fate to settle the matter: launched in depth by Jallow, Mikautadze was cut by Poussin, left far from his surface. The referee did not hesitate, drew the red card from his pocket (40e), and let the Girondins evolve to ten for a big fifty minutes.
Returning from the locker room, Metz pushed, and the light came from a flash of Jallow, whose left strike surprised the unfortunate Strączek, who was playing his first moments in Ligue 2 (1-0, 49e). Unleashed, the Grenats quickly made the break through the insatiable Mikautadze, clinical to improve a smoothly led counter-attack (2-0, 52e). Under water, the Bordelais then sank when the Georgian, top scorer in Ligue 2, then performed a magnificent slalom in the opposing area and crucified the opposing goalkeeper (3-0, 72e). The party was total in Saint-Symphorien, which finds the hope of going back immediately to Ligue 1 next season. The Messins are one length from the club at the scapular, seven days from the end.
