Super Eagles striker, Terem Moffi on Sunday grabbed his fourth goal of the season in the French Ligue 1 as his solitary winner against visiting Toulouse at the Allianz Riviera ensured Nice remain the only unbeaten team in Europe’s top five leagues.
In a match said to be of two halves as both sides struggled to impress in the first half, it was Terem who hardly had a touch in the first stanza, that brought the stadium alive with his match-winning goal in the 54th minute as he slotted in Morgan Sanson’s pass across goal after some good work by Melvin Bard.
The Nigeria international came off the field in the 85th minute with an impressive match rating of 7.7.
“Moffi had no service in the first half and grew frustrated, dropping deeper and deeper in an attempt to have an influence on the game,” the Nigerian international was rated accordingly.“However, this was a game of two halves for the Nigerian international, who got his goal early in the second half.
“He was in the right place at the right time to finish off Sanson’s pass across goal. That was his first goal since mid-September and his confidence immediately returned.
“His run and pass set up Lotomba, who almost doubled the lead, and he was dangerous drifting inside from the right,” noted getfootballnewsfrance.com.
Elsewhere, Sadiq Umar scored his first goal of the season for Real Sociedad and it was worth the wait as it was a wonder strike that proved the winning goal against Sevilla.
The lanky striker dribbled past a marker and from almost 30 yards let fly an unstoppable screamer in the 22nd minute.
Even his team captain could not hide his admiration for the wonder goal.
Sadiq Umar was replaced in the 75th minute. His club are fourth on the La Liga table with 25 points from 14 matches.
