Paris FC secured a 3-1 victory over Metz in their Ligue 1 clash on Sunday, with goals from Gory, Otavio, and Kebbal sealing the win. Gory opened the scoring in the 21st minute before Kvilitaia equalized for Metz in the 31st minute with a well-taken goal. The visitors regained the lead in the 61st minute when Otavio fired a low drive past the Metz goalkeeper. Kebbal capped the win in the second half with a right-footed finish, sending Paris FC supporters into celebration. Nigerian winger Moses Simon, who has featured in 26 matches this season with three goals and three assists, did not play in the match. The win lifts Paris FC to 10th place in the league table with 38 points, while Metz remains rooted at the bottom with 15 points.
Moses Simon's absence was notable given his direct involvement in six goals this season, yet Paris FC managed a comfortable win without him. This result strengthens Paris FC's mid-table position but does not alter Metz's ongoing struggle at the foot of the standings. No Nigerian or African player featured in the match.
