Outstanding performance
Saint-Étienne•MidfielderSaint-Étienne looked to be cruising after a blistering spell either side of the 70th minute, with Kévin Pedro and Augustine Boakye combining brilliantly to put the visitors 2-0 up despite Metz enjoying more possession and passing accuracy throughout. Metz, however, refused to fold - Abdourahmane Mbodji halved the deficit within minutes of the second goal, capitalising on a sequence of corners and blocked efforts, before Jessy Deminguet's stoppage-time strike from another corner completed a stunning rescue act. The match statistics tell a story of contrasting efficiency: Saint-Étienne created more big chances and had double the shots on target, yet it was Metz's resilience and set-piece threat that salvaged a point. For Saint-Étienne, sitting in a relegation-threatened zone, this will feel like two points lost after controlling the game's pivotal moments; for Metz, riding decent form coming in, the late equaliser is a huge psychological boost heading into their next fixture.

Kick-off! Referee：Tifenn LeProdhomme
Saint-Étienne arrive at Saint-Symphorien as runaway Ligue 2 leaders looking to bounce back from their first defeat of the season, while Metz aim to respond immediately after their own unbeaten run was snapped at Red Star. With both sides fresh off losses and ASSE fans barred from traveling, expect a charged atmosphere and plenty of goals.
