Nice held by Metz as play-off awaits | OneFootball

Nice 0-0 Metz on Sunday keeps the hosts 16th in Ligue 1 with a relegation play-off ahead, while Metz end the season bottom.

In the 14th minute, Yehvann Diouf saved well from Giorgi Abuashvili after Giorgi Kvilitaia headed a pass into the box.

After the restart, Hicham Boudaoui stung Jonathan Fischer's palms from distance (47.). Moments later, Antoine Mendy cleared the bar from range (49.), before Sofiane Diop was denied by the Metz goalkeeper from close in (62.).

Claude Puel's double change at the break, introducing Mohamed Ali Cho and Boudaoui, lifted Les Aiglons. Cho headed wide from an Ali Abdi cross and later dragged a left footed chance wide following Morgan Sanson's through ball.

First half treatment for Sanson and Antoine Mendy caused brief stoppages before the interval.

Les Aiglons produced 22 attempts and earned 10 corners. Metz mustered 16 attempts and 37 clearances. Yehvann Diouf and Jonathan Fischer each made four saves.

Next, Les Aiglons visit Lens in the Coupe de France final.
