Terem Moffi breaths sigh of relief over Nice win over Lens
By Monsurah Olatunji
Terem Moffi has expressed his satisfaction with the team’s recent victory against Lens in the French Ligue 1 on Saturday.
The match concluded with a 3-1 scoreline in favor of Nice, with Moffi scoring in both halves and Khephren adding one to ensure that Elye Wahi’s goal was merely a consolation for Lens.
Moffi’s goal marked his ninth of the season, with eight games still left to play for Nice this season, highlighting his instrumental role in securing the win for his team.
Following the game, Moffi spoke to the media and expressed his satisfaction over the much-needed victory, considering their recent struggles.
Nice had a promising start to the season, positioning themselves as potential challengers to defending Ligue 1 champion PSG for the title. However, they encountered difficulties starting in mid-February, enduring a six-game winless streak, including five losses and one draw.
This poor run of form caused them to slip down the table, raising concerns about their chances of qualifying for European football next season.
Nevertheless, the victory against Lens has provided them with a significant boost, and they aim to capitalize on this performance in their upcoming matches.
“It was a very important win for us. As a team, we really needed the victory,” Moffi stated, reflecting the team’s determination to bounce back.
“Now, we just need to clear our heads and come back even stronger and more positive.”
