Nice touch: Nigerian striker Terem handles Brest on historic night for Eaglets

Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi has ended a 389-day goal drought in spectacular fashion after OGC Nice crushed Brest 6-0 on the final day of the Ligue 1 season.

The huge victory secured a Champions League spot for the first time in eight years for the modest Ligue 1 side.

The Nigerian forward, who has battled back from a career-threatening injury, came off the bench to score Nice’s fifth goal-a moment that capped both a remarkable personal comeback and a historic night for the club.

Moffi’s strike was met with jubilation from his teammates, who gathered around the Super Eagles star in a heartfelt celebration.

The goal was his first of the season, arriving in just his fifth appearance after returning to action against Monaco on March 29th.

The emphatic victory not only sealed fourth place for Nice but also marked their highest league finish since 2017. For Moffi, the night was especially meaningful, having endured months of rehabilitation and uncertainty about his playing future.

“Let them know we are back,” Moffi said after the match on his Instagram story.

Nice’s dominant performance showed their attacking impetus, with three goals scored in either half, with Moffi’s goal adding gloss to a historic achievement.

For the Super Eagles star, the goal was more than a statistic, it was a victorious roar of comeback, resilience, and belief. With momentum on their side, both Moffi and Nice could shine on Europe’s biggest stage next season.
