Pre Match Report: Marseille have been on fire as of late. They have not dropped 3 points in NINE straight games. This is the longest winning streak in the league right now. Metz are not sitting pretty though they are in 14th place losing there last contest to Nice. Nice are fight to stay above the drop zone even though it is early they do not want to pass that line. We shall see what this game has in store for us as the teams have just hit the pitch as we speak.

First Half: Marseille Ball.

6th min- GOOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!! Marseille have just scored a brilliant goal.... but wait what is this. They just called Cisse offsides and the goal is taken back. Lets look at the replay to tell that was to close. Yes the officials got the call right he was off by just a step.

13th min- Cisse shows Metz that he is for real this match. He has just scored another goal from a great service, but this time is was from the other wing player Gonzelez. Gonzalez beat his man down the line and served a drivin cross into the box to have the onrunning Cisse put a nicely timed volley into the back of the net.

25th min- Metz get a freekick in a very dangerous position outside the box. The kick is taken and it looks as though it has beaten the keeper but not the post. Wow that was a nice freekick unlucky to get rejected by the post though.

43rd min- Right before half Marseille have a great chance to make it 2-0. Gonzalez gets a timely through ball from Cisse that splits the defence. Gonzalez then lays his pass off to Ben Arfa and he has a go at goal. Marichez makes the save and pushes it wide and out of bounds for a corner. The following corner comes to nothing though.

Halftime: Marseille should be up in this contest 3-1 with 3 chances two for Marseille and one from Metz beeing squandered. Whoever makes more of there chances should win this game as neither are putting them away. We shall see what happens in the second half.

45th min- Metz Ball

50th min- I guess Marseille wanted to be the team that took advantage of the missed oportunities. Cisse makes the scoreline 2-0 with a nice cross in from Niang.

65th min- Metz player Gueye has a chance on the backpost and puts his header towards goal but misses the goal over the top. Metz just can not put some of there chances away.

77th min- Substitution Marseille:
IN: Valbuena
Moussilou

OUT: Jedinak
Ben Arfa

80th min- Off the Marseille corner new man Valbuena rises above everybody in the box and heads it towards goal. It rises above the keeper and past his fingertips but the crossbar saves Metz this time and denies the goal.

84th min- Cana serves his bending ball into the box and Metz almost score an own goal. The ball takes a early deflection off of Cardy and the already diving Marichez can do nothing about it except hope. The ball caroms off the post and out for a corner. They got lucky there.

88th min- Off of the corner Metz take advantage of the short numbers in Marseilles defence and use the counter attack to there advantage. They do a nice 1-2 combo in the midfield to get around the last defenders and P. Cisse beats Mandanda in the 1v1 battle. They grab the ball out of the back of the net quick and get back to midfield for the restart.

90 + Min- Fulltime whistle is blown and Metz did not have enough time to make a comeback.

MOM: Djibril Cisse wins MOM with his Brace that helped Marseille win.
