Nigerian striker Terem Moffi has seamlessly picked up where he left off last season, making a remarkable impact by notching his first assist in their Ligue 1 season opener.
OGC Nice found themselves in a thrilling late draw as the curtains raised on the 2023/2024 season.
In a brilliant display, Moffi, the agile forward, orchestrated a decent first-half assist that paved the way for Gaƫtan Laborde to light up the scoreboard, heralding the dawn of the 2023/2024 French Ligue One campaign on the evening of Friday, August 11.
In a mere 18 minutes, Moffi masterminded the season’s first decisive goal through his well-timed assist, catapulting OGC Nice to a commanding position in their opening clash against Lille OSC at the illustrious Allianz Riviera on that eventful Friday night.
Moffi, who made his permanent move from FC Lorient on July 1 following a successful loan stint, emerged as a beacon of excellence during the latter half of the 2022/2023 season.
His explosive blend of pace, power, and relentless forward play swiftly established him as the focal point of Nice’s attack, a vital asset poised to shine under the new coach – Francesco Farioli.
As a Nigerian International, Moffi remains an indomitable force at OGC Nice. The gifted forward orchestrated a brilliant setup, propelling the 29-year-old Gaetan Laborde to hand Nice the lead.
Yet, Lille OSC thwarted their aspirations with a dramatic late equalizer, masterminded by Baforde Diakite, culminating in an ultimately fair 1-1 draw.
The 24-year-old Nigerian sensation is poised for a poignant return to face his former team, FC Lorient, in the forthcoming matchday two of the 2023/2024 French Ligue One season.
With his sights set on the goal-scoring charts, the Super Eagles’ star aims to kickstart his seasonal tally, following an impressive record of 21 goals across 38 appearances in various competitions during the scintillating 2022/2023 season.
