Paris FC 3-2 Metz: Kebbal & Simon Key in Victory

Compared to the starting eleven aligned in Marseille last Saturday, Stéphane Gilli, the Paris FC coach, had made two changes. In goals, Obed Nkambadio, injured in a tendon, was replaced by Kevin Trapp. At the post of left side, Thibault Smet, with a more defensive profile, had taken the place of Nhoa Sangui.

If as in Angers and Marseille, Paris FC was punished on its defensive generosity, the talent of its offensive players, Ilan Kebbal and Moses Simon in particular, made it possible to make the difference.
