Metz Take a Home Loss Against Montpellier, Slipping Further from the Mid-Table
Metz chalked up their second consecutive home defeat by the same scoreline of 1-0, dropping to the fourteenth spot in the overall table and starting to flirt with the danger zone after Lyon's win and Toulouse snagging a point.
Meanwhile, Montpellier put an end to a streak of six consecutive winless games with their last victory on October 29th against Toulouse, aiming to climb up the table and turn things around before the winter break.
The game was decided in the ninth minute when central defender Esteve, playing for Michel Der Zakarian's side, gave them the edge, which they held onto throughout. They managed to keep their goal intact despite facing 19 shots from the home team, securing all three points during their trip to southern France.
