The two major clubs of the Côte d’Azur met this Sunday at the Louis II Stadium for one of the biggest matches of the season.
The Nice supporters were eagerly awaiting it, and the new Nice recruit Terem Moffi embarked on his journey with a masterful performance in this Azurian derby. Two goals and an assist for the Nigerian striker who was decisive in all three goals for OGC Nice in this match.
Perfectly served by captain Dante with a deep ball, Moffi opened the scoring coolly against Nubel in the 8th minute. Pressured by the Nice team, AS Monaco struggled from the start of the match and Moffi quickly secured a brace. This time, it was Khephren Thuram who delivered the deep ball to the former ‘merlus’. The Nice defense remained impenetrable, and the Monégasques eventually succumbed to the knockout blow just before the end of the first half. Unstoppable in this derby, Moffi lifted the Eagles just before halftime. Found on the right side, the former ‘Merlus’ striker crossed towards Thuram, who finished with a powerful strike.
In the second half, the Gym showed strength in duels and good ball retention. Without really being threatened, Didier Digard and his men continued their unbeaten streak in the most impressive way. Moffi definitively kickstarts his story with the red and black jersey.
With this victory, OGC Nice moves up to 7th place in Ligue 1, five points behind Rennes and the European spots.
