Before the dismissal, Metz’s Bouna Sarr had gone into the referee’s book with a yellow card in the 38th minute, underlining a combative spell of the first half. After Tati’s sending-off, Nantes reshaped at the interval, making a double substitution at half-time as Ali Yousef replaced Fabien Centonze and Deiver Machado came on for Ignatius Ganago.

Metz looked to inject fresh energy after the break, introducing Nathan Mbala and Believe Munongo in the 63rd minute. However, despite the numerical advantage and the changes from both benches, no breakthrough was recorded in the available data. Francis Coquelin received a yellow card for Nantes in the 63rd minute before being substituted for Ibrahima Sissoko late on, while Munongo picked up a booking for Metz in the 72nd minute.

Further late substitutions included Lucas Michal for Sarr and Giorgi Abuashvili for Jessy Deminguet for Metz, while Nantes sent on Herba Guirassy and, in stoppage time, Kelvin Amian Adou. None of these changes altered the scoreline, with the contest closing at 0–0.

Beyond the cards and substitutions listed, detailed information on chances, shots and goalkeeping saves is not available. Full match and competition context can be found on the Ballaxy match page and the Ligue 1 hub.
