Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi caged in Reims

The Nigerian forward’s best was not enough to get him on the scoreboard at the Stade Auguste Delaune on matchday six of the campaign

Terem Moffi featured for three-quarters of the encounter, but Lorient and Reims could only manage a boring scoreless draw on Sunday afternoon.

Last October, when Lorient took the trip to the Stade Auguste-Delaune II, Moffi scored the third goal as further strikes from Hamel and Wissa powered Les Merlus to a 3-1 away win.

The hosts, wary of the dangers posed by the Super Eagles forward, left little room for him to wreak havoc as the centre-back trio of Andrew Gravillon, Wout Faes, and Yunis Abdelhamid kept him in check.

Moffi was withdrawn in the 76th-minute for Austrian star Adrian Grbic, but the visitors could not muster a late winner.

The 22-year-old remains a key member of Lorient’s first-team squad, though, contributing immensely to the side’s two league victories so far this term. Moffi scored the only goal in Lorient’s defeat of Monaco and netted another in the 2-1 triumph over Lille last week.
