00:00 Both captains will get together for the home side.
00:02 Mathieu Udol for the visitors.
00:05 Matt Sells, the goalkeeper.
00:07 Clement Topin will be the referee.
00:13 An experienced man in the middle
00:14 as he gets the two captains together.
00:16 Matt Sells with that towel around his neck.
00:19 Most goalkeepers keep a towel in order to dry their gloves
00:21 when they get too slippery.
00:23 So, Matt Sells chooses the sides.
00:27 He's going to defend first half.
00:30 It's a run away in the derby of Eastern France
00:41 between Metz and Strasbourg.
00:43 This Sunday lunchtime in Ligue 1.
00:47 It is a game that perhaps goes under the radar for many.
00:59 Alssoro's ball in and Jean-Jacques Reisy
01:02 to try and win the header.
01:03 Estupignan trying his luck.
01:04 Comes back to Koual.
01:06 He hits it!
01:07 And it's just over the bar.
01:09 It's taken 27 minutes for Metz.
01:12 Mathieu Udol with the ball in.
01:21 And Estupignan from a very difficult angle indeed.
01:26 Unable to test Matt Sells.
01:29 Oscar Estupignan.
01:30 Headed down and Mathieu Udol was arriving.
01:44 And a really important last ditch tackle
01:47 in few and far between in the first 45 minutes here.
01:50 So, no goals in a very tight first half in this local derby.
01:56 But no doubt it will come to life in the next 45 minutes.
02:00 We've got highlights, stats, lots more chat for you.
02:02 Don't go anywhere.
02:03 We will see you in just a moment.
02:05 Strasbourg then get us underway in the second half here.
02:14 No changes at the beginning of the second period.
02:18 0-0 at the break, Metz with a few decent chances
02:22 towards the end of the first 45 minutes.
02:25 Nothing to trouble Matt Sells in the away goal though.
02:29 Strasbourg fans showing their colours high up behind the goal
02:33 off to a right as the away team attack towards the other end.
02:36 Looking for the breakthrough goal.
02:37 It is at least an attempt on goal from Emmanuel Emega.
02:41 And then here comes Estupignan.
02:48 Support behind him from Kamara.
02:53 Kamara trying his luck from range and infuriating his teammates there.
02:58 Lamine Kamara.
02:59 It's going to be the in-swinger from Fahli Kande and it's beyond everybody.
03:12 Mention that entertaining draw with Marseille.
03:16 Out-swinging ball by Mbaye.
03:22 Balls for the first time shot and the snapshot from Udall
03:27 in the penalty box forcing the save from Matt Sells.
03:30 The ball looking for Wang at the edge of the box.
03:43 It's picked up by Kofi Koual, the little fake from him.
03:47 Challenged though by Ducouret.
03:49 And Strasbourg on a turnover here.
03:52 Emega's shot over the bar.
03:55 Rona, Van den Kerkhoff shrugs the defender off the ball, cuts it back.
04:21 Malik Mbaye should have scored.
04:24 Wanga.
04:26 It's going to fall perhaps from Tiara here.
04:37 Tiara scored!
04:38 And Strasbourg get their first goal away from home this season.
04:44 And what a massive goal it is as well.
04:47 It puts them ahead in the derby.
04:50 And it comes so late that maybe that will be the winner.
04:53 A game that has taken a long, long time to come to life.
04:59 Just a bit of space opening up.
05:07 And Tiara firing that one in underneath Alexandre Oukidja.
05:12 He'll be really disappointed to concede like that.
05:15 But it was a powerfully struck shot by the youngster.
05:18 First away goal this season.
05:25 Setting them up for their first away victory.
05:28 If they can just hang on now.
05:29 Is it going to be a fourth consecutive win in this derby for Strasbourg?
05:38 It's not over yet though.
05:40 Elisor to the left-hand side.
05:43 And the shot seemed to strike the hand of Jairzino Niamh.
05:47 He's big appeals for a penalty from the home fans and players.
05:51 Strasbourg still going at the other end.
06:00 It might just fall for...
06:01 Emeka arriving.
06:04 There is Emeka.
06:11 To hold off van den Kerk.
06:15 Oukidja.
06:16 Five added minutes still to come then.
06:19 It's Mesut for the equaliser.
06:23 Falikande again to deliver the free kick here.
06:27 Deep ball and the header is a dangerous one that goes across the six yard box.
06:35 And behind for the goal kick.
06:36 Ball played in.
06:42 Come back to him by...
06:48 Baxter returning to Oukidja.
06:52 All hands to the pump defensively now for Strasbourg as they try to hold on.
07:00 Udall.
07:11 Chance for the shot from range which takes a deflection.
07:14 Matt Sales will hold it.
07:15 Particularly rewarding afternoon for him up front.
07:22 But it looks like his team are going to escape with the points.
07:24 We are in a sixth added minute now.
07:27 Maurice Aydion could keep that ball in play.
07:32 Go, go, go!
07:33 Go, go, go!
07:39 It's going to be a third Strasbourg victory for Patrick Vieira in six games in charge.
07:48 Yes, a fantastic one.
07:52 The win sees Strasbourg move up into fourth place above both PSG and Marseille.
07:57 Mets remain in ninth spot.
07:58 Hope you've enjoyed this match right here on BN Sports.
