After their good start to the year, the Stéphanois were beaten by FC Metz this Wednesday evening. Behind 2-0 from the 16th minute, ASSE quickly become disillusioned and abandoned any hope of prolonging their winning streak in 2018.
Shortly after the onset of the match, the Verts quickly had to say that tonight was not their night, this Wednesday, on the field of the Saint-Symphorien stadium. Quickly outpaced, the Stéphanois experienced a nightmarish first half in Moselle. The first goal for FC Metz was scored with a penalty kick by Rivière, a former Stéphanois no less (FC Metz 1-0 ASSE, 13). The poor pass made by Cheikh M’Bengue had tripped up the Stéphanois goalie.
Jessy Moulin could do nothing also to stop Dossevi from scoring after Roux created an opening for him (FC Metz 2-0 ASSE, 16). Moulin, proven to be an effective goalkeeper against Toulouse (2-0), blocked the shots made by Palmieri (19), Roux (20), Rivière (27) and Mandjeck (31). The offensive line of the Stéphanois team created an opening to score but did not manage to capitalize on this opportunity (44).
Despite an attempt made by Loïc Perrin (57), the Verts did not manage to get out of this tight spot and saw FC Metz, undefeated for four matches in the championship, maintain their winning streak. Worse still, Nolan Roux managed to get a goal past Jessy Moulin after a pass from Milicevic (FC Metz 3-0 ASSE, 77). And, as if things weren’t bad enough, Hernani, who had come onto the field a few minutes earlier, was given two yellow cards in two minutes. Benoît Millot send him back to the locker room before his teammates, who joined him with their heads held low. ASSE will have to bounce back. Very quickly.
