Terem Moffi Scores But Can’t Stop Heavy Defeat for Nice
Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi scored a fine goal, but it wasn’t enough as Nice suffered a heavy 4-1 loss away to Brest in Ligue 1. The match was expected to be a close contest between two strong sides, but Brest dominated from start to finish, leaving Nice with little to show for their efforts.
From the start, Brest looked sharper and more organised. They pressed high, forced mistakes, and quickly took control. Their opening goal came just six minutes in, the result of slick passing and calm finishing. Before Nice had a chance to recover, Brest struck again, taking a 2-0 lead just three minutes later. Nice’s defence looked disorganised and struggled to cope with Brest’s quick movement.
Despite Brest’s strong start, Moffi managed to bring some hope for Nice. Just before half time, he scored with a powerful strike, showing his sharp instincts in the box. It was one of the few bright moments for Nice in an otherwise difficult night.
Any chance of a comeback was quickly shut down in the second half. Brest scored twice more within six minutes, taking full advantage of gaps in Nice’s defence. Their third goal came on the break, and the fourth sealed the result completely.
Nice had no real answer to Brest’s intensity. Moffi’s goal was a highlight, but his teammates were largely second best across the pitch. The substitutions made no real difference, and Brest continued to control the match with confidence and discipline.
For Nice, the defeat will be a concern, especially the poor defensive display. The manager now faces tough questions about the team’s structure and mentality. Moffi’s performance may offer some encouragement, but the overall result is a major setback in their bid for a strong league finish.
Meanwhile, Brest will be delighted with their display. It was a complete team performance, showing both discipline at the back and sharpness in attack. This result strengthens their position in the table and shows they are a side to be taken seriously this season.
