FC Metz Celebrates Victory and Waits for Ligue 1 Promotion Decision Amidst Bordeaux Controversy

“There was a good opposition from Bastia, who did not let it go,” savors Gaston Jacobi, the president of the local section of the Supporter club En avant Metz. Friday evening, after a generous match in goal, FC Metz won at home against SC Bastia, 3-2, triggering scenes of jubilation in Metz. At 5.30 p.m., the supporters’ bus left Sarrebourg to attend the match in Saint-Symphorien. And the stress was palpable, as this last game of the season was to determine whether the Garnets could return to Ligue 1.

Waiting in joy

If the victory was celebrated as it should be, “there is still a bit of concern after what happened in Bordeaux”, specifies Gaston Jacobi. Direct competitor of FC Metz for the climb, the fate of the Girondins de Bordeaux is not yet sealed. Indeed, Friday evening, the match was stopped, after a Bordeaux supporter attacked the Ruthenian striker. “We are waiting for the decision on Monday. But we hope that the regulations will be applied, as when Metz supporters threw a firecracker at the Lyon goalkeeper, ”says Gaston Jacobi. For the record, the club at the cross of Lorraine had received a suspended 3-point withdrawal at the time (following the appeal) , of several matches played behind closed doors. The meeting had been replayed, and lost by the Garnets.

While waiting for the validation or not of the rise in Ligue 1 of FC Metz, the South Moselle supporters celebrated the victory. “We are more than happy, some went on the lawn, it was great,” says Gaston Jacobi, who returned at 1:30 a.m. this Saturday. Now everyone is waiting for the decision on Monday.
