We see this win as a spark in Nice’s season rather than just a result. For a side still integrating new tactics under Franck Haise, confidence is fragile. Moffi’s late header offers more than three points—it signals a return to self-belief.

We feel the impact of this young Nigerian forward keenly. After a long lay-off, his goal will lift spirits within the squad and among the fans. His return couldn’t have come at a better time. A striker who can change a game after entering from the bench provides tactical flexibility and an extra creative dimension.

We believe Nice must build on this momentum. Victories early in the season can define trajectories, and with players like Moffi rediscovering form, there is potential for revival. The synergy between seasoned campaigners and returning stars could be the catalyst the club needs.
