Metz hold Lille to draw and remain rooted to the foot of Ligue 1
METZ, France (AP) --- Struggling Metz held high-flying Lille to 0-0 at home but
the point was not enough to lift it off the bottom of Ligue 1 on Friday.
Metz had not won in eight games and it looked second best for much of the match
against a team whose early season promise had tapered out after a run of four
league defeats.
But visiting Lille could not breach a staunch Metz defense.
Lille had to settle for fifth place, six points behind Lyon.
Metz remained rooted to the bottom of the table with the same points as Auxerre
and a point behind Nantes, both of which have a game in hand.
Six points separate the last three from safety.
