Second-place Nice Needs Late Penalty To Scrape Home Win Over Metz – News18

PARIS: Second-placed Nice wanted a late penalty to scrape previous Metz 1-0 at residence and keep on the tail of French league chief Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday.

Striker Evann Guessand scored within the 77th minute after being fouled by midfielder Kévin N’Doram, calmly sending goalkeeper Alexandre Oukidja the flawed means.

Earlier within the second half, referee Stéphanie Frappart dominated out a possible penalty for Metz after a video overview.

That helped guarantee one other shutout for Nice, which has the league’s greatest protection: 11 objectives conceded in 19 video games.

In a late recreation, Marseille hosted fourth-positioned Monaco at Stade Velodrome.

PSG can restore its eight-level lead with a house win towards shock entrance-runner Brest on Saturday.
