Corner messin without danger (37th)
Right corner for FC Metz. Boulaya’s center is returned from the head by Dante. Papa Yade recovers 20 meters off center on the left. His shot goes wide of the goal.
Bar stools (35e)
Metz defends high and Gouiri escapes on the right side. His deep cross for Stengs is a bit long but the Dutchman recovers in the box on the left. He dithers and his center ends up behind the Metz goal.
Stengs offside (33rd)
Solicited in the depth on the left, Calvin Stengs is signaled offside. Nice creates chances but the Messins resist.
Volley from Stengs repelled by Caillard (31st)
In the area on the right, slightly behind, Dolberg distills a good center at the far post. Calvin Stengs arms a volley from the left. The ball bounces before being diverted by a nice reflex from Caillard.
Kana-Biyik imposes (28th)
Wanted on a long ball, Kasper Dolberg does not get the best of Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik. The Danish striker is struggling to weigh in this meeting.
Gouiri does not pass (25th)
Launched deep into the area on the left, Gouiri is taken over by the beautiful coverage of Amadou. The Nice corner that follows, shot by Gouri, is repelled with a header by Ibrahima Niane.
Nice has the ball (23rd)
Ball possession is 54% in favor of OGC Nice.
Pajot counter strike (22nd)
Ball a little messed up in front of the Nice area. Vincent Pajot tries his luck but it is countered by Dante.
Gouiri tests Caillard again (19th)
Thuram extends towards Boudaoui on the right side. The Niçois controls near the surface and finds Gouiri. Nice back-to-goal control before a shot from the left. It’s too much on Caillard who does not relax.
Dolberg on the lookout (17th)
Center line from Stengs on the left side. Dolberg dives to the near post and deflects slightly with the right foot in extension. Too light to worry Caillard who stops the ball.
Gouiri lights the wick (15th)
???? The Gym’s first opportunity is for Gouiri! After a great collective action, the N ° 1️⃣1️⃣ Nice strikes but it is well stopped by Caillard#OGCNice#FCMOGCNpic.twitter.com/utVa7MmX5H

Nice struggles to progress (14th)
Despite the percussion of Stengs on the left side, the Niçois suffered against the intensity of Messina in the heart of the game.
Yade unscrews (11th)
Right corner for Metz played short by Boulaya. Papa Yade transplants in the axis and takes his chance from the left at 20 meters. It’s way off.
Gouiri inaccurate on a free kick (8th)
Free kick for Nice 30 meters off center on the left. The center of Amine Gouiri is imprecise and directly for Marc-Aurèle Caillard.
A lawn in poor condition (6th)
The blades of grass are already rare at the Saint-Symphorien stadium and it will not improve over the course of the match. Not very obvious playing conditions for practicing polished football.
Metz starts with its head held high (4th)
The Grenats are well into this part and prevent Nice from crossing the middle line. The Aiglons are a little jostled.
Already a corner for Metz (1st)
Traoré recovers the high ball and obtains a right corner against Dante. Boulaya takes care of it but his cross is repelled with a header by Dolberg.
Let’s go !
The kick off is given by Nice who will attack from right to left. Place to play.
