How the Game Went

In a frenetic first half, Endrick's star shone early. At 10 minutes, Mata launched deep to Tolisso, who won in speed and passed to the Brazilian in the small area. Lyon's number 9 didn't waste the chance and opened the scoring. Shortly after, at 16, Merah received a pass from Morton and crossed to Kluivert, who, with a subtle touch, extended the lead for the visitors.

At 32 minutes, Lyon scored their third goal. Maitland-Niles tried to lift the ball into the area, but Gbamin from Metz partially cleared it. On the rebound, Morton struck hard and found the net. Two minutes later, Kouao intercepted Kluivert's pass in midfield, sprinted towards the goal and, face to face with goalkeeper Greif, made a delicate touch to score for the home team.

Still in the first half, Morton set up Endrick, who moved from defense to attack. The forward, one-on-one with Fischer, bypassed the goalkeeper to make it 4-1 at 45 minutes. At 18 of the second half, Koffi Kouao crossed for Habib Diallo to reduce the deficit once more for Metz.

At 41 minutes, Endrick was fouled inside the area, took the penalty, and scored. Thus, sealing the final score of the match.
