Intro:
Racing Metro picked up their second win in the European Rugby Champions Cup Pool 5 on Sunday, beating hosts Benetton Treviso 26-10.
Script:
Benetton Treviso were under pressure to convert home advantage into a win, when they hosted Racing Metro on Sunday.
Having lost their first match of their inaugural European Champions Cup, it looked like it'd be a similar script against Racing, who opened the scoring with this converted penalty from Jonny Sexton.
Jayden Hayward levelled the score midway throught the first half.
But Sexton restored Racing's advantage going into half-time 6-3.
Racing made a lively start after the break and grabbed the game's first try on 43 minutes.
With Treviso struggling to defend their own try line, the visitors moved the ball to the right wing, where Henry Chavancy fended off winger Ludovico Nitoglia and dived over in the corner.
It seemed to spark Treviso who started to build some pressure in Racing's half.
It led to this try on the 62nd minute to put them within touching distance.
But this try from Wenceslas Lauret with only five minutes to go ended any hope of a comeback.
The game finished 26-10 to Racing, their second successive win in the competition, taking them top of the Pool 5 standings.
