On Tuesday, while the UEFA Champions League round of 16 matches were taking place in European stadiums, the postponed French "Ligue 1" match between local teams "Metz" and "Nancy" was played at the Stade St-Symphorien stadium in the city of Metz.
Recently successful and having defeated "Monaco" in the previous round, the "Metz" club this time had to settle for a goalless draw.
Having climbed out of the bottom of the table only this weekend, "Metz" leveled in points with the 18th-placed "Strasbourg" club, and reduced the gap from the 17th place, which guarantees survival in "Ligue 1", to 5 points from "Troyes".
Meanwhile, "Nancy", who have only recently climbed to the highest French football division this season, moved from 12th place to 10th after this match with 40 points, trailing by only two points from the 6th place, guaranteeing the right to play in European tournaments, held by "Lens".
Score: 0 - 0
