Match Report
Monaco came from behind to claim a 1-2 victory at Metz, sealed by Ansu Fati's stoppage-time strike that broke home hearts in the most dramatic fashion.
Metz took the lead through Jessy Deminguet's header on 49 minutes, set up by a pin-point cross from Gauthier Hein. Monaco responded swiftly — Folarin Balogun levelled on 61', finishing off a move involving Maghnes Akliouche. The game appeared destined for a draw until Fati turned in a cross from Caio Henrique in the 91st minute to complete the turnaround. No red cards or penalties disrupted the contest.
For Metz, anchored in 18th place, the defeat is a cruel blow to their already-slim survival hopes. Monaco take the three points and the momentum, with the comeback keeping their push for European football firmly alive as the season enters its final stretch.
