In their 24th game of the season, Nice faced off against Toulouse at the Stadium Municipal, with Terem Moffi leading the line for the visitors.
Despite a promising start to the season, Nice has recently struggled, experiencing three losses in their last four games. However, early in the match, it appeared that their fortunes might change as Moffi, the 2023 AFCON silver-medalist, showcased his sharp awareness.
Moffi capitalized on a rebound opportunity to give Nice a 1-0 lead, demonstrating his goal-scoring prowess. However, Toulouse responded with increased pressure, seeking an equalizer. Despite Nice’s resolute defense, Toulouse managed to find the back of the net twice in the second half.
Moffi had an opportunity to extend Nice’s lead in the 39th minute, but his shot narrowly missed the target. In the second half, Toulouse intensified their efforts, leading to Moffi being substituted for Gaetan Laborde in the 64th minute.
Shortly after Moffi left the field, Toulouse’s Thijs Dallinga equalized in the 65th minute, followed by Yann Gboho’s goal four minutes later, putting Toulouse ahead 2-1. Despite Nice’s efforts to mount a comeback, they were unable to find the net again.
The match ultimately ended 2-1 in favor of Toulouse, marking Nice’s sixth defeat of the season. Nevertheless, Moffi’s goal added to his impressive tally of seven league goals in this Ligue 1 campaign, highlighting his importance to the team’s attacking prowess.
