Moffi was omitted from Nigeria’s squad for the clash against Sierra Leone, but he has something to celebrate.
Super Eagles star Terem Moffi has won the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) goal of the tournament for the 2022/2023 season.
Messi’s stunning strike for Nice against Basel in the first leg of their quarter-final clash topped the ten selected strikes.
Moffi wins UECL award
The Super Eagles star’s strike against the Swiss side was selected as the winner by the UEFA Technical Observer Panel.
Moffi’s scored a brace in the game but it was his second that stood out. The former Lorient striker scored a fantastic overhead kick from Gaetan Laborde’s cross to put Nice ahead 2-1 on the night.
Although Nice would eventually lose the tie 4-3 on aggregate, Moffi’s stunning strike was one of the highlights of the two games.

The award caps off a fine season for the 24-year-old Nigerian striker. Moffi had his best season yet after scoring 21 goals in all competitions, including 18 in the Ligue 1.
