Metz FC: Cheikh Sabaly scores his 13th goal of the season in Ligue 2

Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly continues to impress in Ligue 2. The Senegalese forward from FC Metz netted his 13th goal of the season on Saturday, April 5, 2025, during the 1-1 draw against SM Caen.

The Senegal international (2 caps) was playing his 100th match in the colors of FC Metz this afternoon. To celebrate this milestone in style, Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly found the back of the net in Ligue 2. He attempted to secure a victory for the Grenats by scoring the club's second goal against SM Caen (61st minute). Unfortunately, the opponent responded in the 68th minute to snatch a draw.

Tidiane Cheikh Sabaly is having the best season of his career

Since the beginning of the season, Sabaly has established himself as a key player in Metz's attack. His repositioning as a center-forward by coach Stéphane Le Mignan has been crucial to this success. Initially a left winger, the 25-year-old has used his speed and explosiveness to adapt to this new role, allowing him to become the top scorer in Ligue 2. This season has been marked by remarkable performances for Sabaly. In August 2024, he equaled the record for the fastest goal in Ligue 2 history by scoring just 8 seconds into the game against Rodez.

For the first time in his career, Cheikh Sabaly has reached 13 goals in a single season. As the 2024/2025 campaign continues, the Senegalese player could extend his series of brilliant performances.
