On Friday evening, the first match of the 23rd round of the French championship between the teams "Metz" and "Marseille" was played.
After the substitution, Dimitri Payet, who returned from England, ran onto the field for the latter. However, this magician of the ball did not help the seaside team to take points from the opponent's stadium.
Despite the fact that the visitors from Marseille dominated in terms of ball control, the only goal of the match was scored in the 82nd minute by Yann Jouffre, who converted a penalty kick.
It means that the pupils of Rudi Garcia, currently holding the seventh place in the "Ligue 1" standings, may drop a few steps down after the weekend, while "Metz", who climbed to 19th place, at least temporarily moved out of the relegation zone.
