During a friendly match between FC Metz and Fortuna Sittard at Schlossberg Stadium in Forbach, a scuffle broke out shortly before halftime after a Metz player pulled the shirt of a Dutch player. In the ensuing commotion, referee Ms. Demoncay ended up on the ground. Security intervened, and she initially took up a position as an assistant referee. Her replacement cautioned Jessy Deminguet and Zee Fuik near a banner reading 'respect the referee.' After halftime, with the score 1-1, the injured referee did not return, and an assistant took her place. Metz ultimately won 3-1, with goals from Gauthier Hein (brace) and Pape Moussa Fall.
