Nigeria's Terem Moffi netted an early goal for his club, Nice, in their recent match against Toulouse, but despite his efforts, Nice ended up on the losing side with a scoreline of 2-1.
Moffi showcased his scoring prowess by finding the back of the net in the 8th minute. However, Toulouse managed to mount a comeback in the second half, with Thijs Dallinga equalising after the interval.
Ultimately, it was Yann Gboho who secured the victory for the hosts with a goal in the 69th minute, denying Moffi and his team a valuable away win.
The 24-year-old striker was substituted off in the 64th minute, making way for Gaetan Laborde. Moffi was a member of the Super Eagles team that placed second in the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2024) in Ivory Coast.
Originally left out of Jose Peseiro's final AFCON squad, Moffi, by a quirk of fate made an AFCON appearance as a replacement of Victor Boniface who pulled out due to injury.
