After the challenging experience in Libya during the international break, Super Eagles winger Moses Simon seems to have put it behind him, delivering a solid performance for Nantes in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
The winger, who started the match, provided the assist as Nantes were held to a 1-1 draw at home by OGC Nice at the Stade de la Beaujoire.
After a goalless first half, Nantes took the lead in the 67th minute through Matthis Abline, who finished from a Moses Simon assist.
However, the lead didn’t last long as Nice’s Evann Guessand equalised just five minutes later, earning the visitors a share of the spoils.
Despite the efforts of Simon and his teammates, they couldn’t add to their tally, with the visitors holding on for a point.
It was the 29-year-old’s fourth assist of the season, adding to the two goals he has scored in Ligue 1 this campaign.
Nantes now sit 9th in the Ligue 1 table, with 10 points after eight match days.
