Ghanaian defender Terry Yegbe marks Metz debut in defeat to Paris FC

Ghanaian centre-back Terry Yegbe made his first appearance for French Ligue 1 side FC Metz in their league game against Paris FC. 

The former Ghana U23 star started for Metz less than 48 hours after completing his move to the club, and lasted 77 minutes as the Lorraine-based club suffered a 3-2 defeat in Paris.

Yegbe was deployed on the left side of defence and occasionally shifted into the middle when the formation changes.

Meanwhile, in a thrilling encounter at Stade Jean-Bouin, the visitors opened the scoring through Sadibou Sane but Paris FC responded at the stroke of half-time from the spot. Ilan Kebbal converted the penalty to ensure it was level at half time.

He gave the host the lead moments after the break but it lasted only a minute as Boubacar Troare responded with a fine strike.

Halfway into the second half, Nigeria international Moses Simon fired the winner for Paris FC.

Yegbe was replaced by Alpha Toure with 13 minutes remaining.

The former Vison FC player joined Metz on a four-year deal from Swedish side IF Elfsborg in the summer transfer window.
