FC Metz suffered a setback this Sunday against LOSC during the 9th day of Ligue 1. Metz had a great opportunity to equalize in the first half, but Cheikh Sabaly completely missed the target.

A huge miss. Starting this Sunday in the Ligue 1 match between LOSC and FC Metz, Cheikh Sabaly missed an equalizer for Metz in the first half. In the penalty area and in a prime position to score, the Senegalese winger finally sent the ball over Berke Özer's goal.

After a poor clearance from Chancel Mbemba on a cross, Giorgi Abuashvili passed the ball to Alpha Touré. His shot found Cheick Sabaly, who practically had nothing left to do but push the ball into the back of the net. But he then completely missed with his half-volley.

Metz bottom of the table and waiting for a first victory

Hamza Igamane, who scored twice in Thursday's 3-4 Europa League defeat to PAOK Salonika, had just opened the scoring in the 25th minute after a cross from Matías Fernández-Pardo. FC Metz conceded the second goal in the 34th minute after a mistake from goalkeeper Pape Sy, which allowed Félix Correia to find the net with a lob in the 34th minute.

Félix Correia doubled his lead in the second half (53rd) and Romain Perraud crushed Metz (64th) with a fourth goal for the Dogues. The nightmare continued with a fifth goal, scored by Benjamin André (82nd), and a sixth goal of the match by Hákon Arnar Haraldsson (90+2nd). Metz saved their honor thanks to Ibou Sané (90+5th).

For his part, Cheick Sabaly will undoubtedly have some regrets, having yet to score this season in Ligue 1, in seven appearances. Since the restart, Metz have still not won a league match, with only two points.
