Moses Simon's Standout moment
After a brilliant start from the home side, rewarded with an early opener from Kevin Van Den Kerkhof, Simon came to his side's rescue nine minutes later.
The 28-year-old, playing in his 11th match of the season, netted a brilliant goal from point blank to draw Nantes level in the 12th minute.
Moses’ goal against Metz was his third of the season, with the Super Eagles now a contributor of seven goals (3 goals, 4 assists) for Nantes in the league this season.
Metz respond to Simon’s goal
Despite Simon’s goal giving Nantes new belief, their joy was short-lived as Metz responded superbly.
Simon Elisor restored the lead for the home side heading into the break before Joel Asoro wrapped things up five minutes from time.
In what is a cruel twist of fate, Moses Simon’s heroics were ultimately not enough to earn Nantes at least a point.
The result means Nantes have now lost back-to-back matches in the Ligue 1.
