VIDEO | Ligue 1 Highlights: Nantes vs FC Metz
Metz achieved a hugely important 0-2 victory in their fight to avoid relegation against a Nantes side that looked unrecognizable and failed to find the correct formula to defeat their opponent.
In the first half of the match, both teams were unable to gain an advantage despite clear goal-scoring opportunities. It wasn't until the second half that Metz capitalized on a mistake by Mostafa Mohamed and took the lead from the penalty spot thanks to Mikautadze's excellent execution in the 58th minute. Later on, Udol further extended the visitors' lead with a superb goal at the end of an exceptional play in the 60th minute.
With this result, Metz secures valuable points to try to avoid relegation, putting them just 2 points away from Montpellier and Lorient. Meanwhile, Nantes dropped to thirteenth place with 22 points.
