Toulouse defeats the Metz narrowly at home in Ligue 1.
With both sides having a lot to lose and unwilling to give up points in this league restart, fear was the dominant emotion during the game. Ultimately, a foul in the box by the home team proved to be a critical error that gave Toulouse the lead and the game when Vincent Sierro converted from the penalty spot.
Toulouse escapes the relegation zone as a result of this, while Metz will have to wait until the conclusion of the matchday to learn their status and if they will be demoted or remain in the standings. Not just at the bottom of Ligue 1, but also in the middle and at the top, the struggle for survival is intensifying.
