Moffi, the click

The Nigerian striker had scored 12 goals in 18 games played with Lorient.

Since his arrival this winter on the Côte d'Azur, the striker had not yet opened his counter.

For his 4th match this Sunday in Monaco, Terem Moffi scored twice.

The first at the start of the match (8th) following a nice control on a long opening from Dante and the second on a deep pass from Thuram.

Moffi also distinguished himself with a heavy shot on target and pushed back by Nübel (67th).

The Nice striker is finally released!

Thuram, the perfect match

Yes, Kephrem Thuram lost two balls throughout the game.

The young French midfielder was simply impressive with accuracy and serenity this Sunday.

Hub of the Nice game, Thuram, under the eyes of his parents, delivered a great assist on Moffi's second goal.

He then offered himself a goal following a real recital.

The 21-year-old midfielder recovers a ball, serves Moffi in the middle who hands him a ball at the entrance to the area.

Thuram punches and tricks Nübel.

He will also have made a very good defensive return (54th) but also a good sequence followed by a shot on target (58th).

Very solid.

Thuram was brilliant on Sunday.

FLOPS

Monaco, the terrible week

Thursday in the round of 16 second leg, Monaco collapsed against Bayer Leverkusen in a breathtaking penalty shootout, when they had taken the best in the first leg.

This Sunday, Philippe Clément and his men experienced a new failure by falling heavily on his lawn against Nice.

They who were the best team since the resumption, lose ground on the leading duo.

Still 3rd, they will not overtake Marseille this weekend and will keep a close eye on the classic Marseille-Paris this Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.).

A struggling Monegasque defense

Axel Disasi and his teammates in defense will have been unable to cope with the realism of Nice.

The French international is also at fault on Moffi's first goal, being too short on Dante's pass.

Matsima, Sarr and Disasi have also often been caught in the back by long crosses.

German goalkeeper Alexander Nübel also had a difficult day, although he was reassuring with several shots in the second period.

Matsima couldn't do anything against Moffi.

A long series ends for Monaco

It had been 34 matches since Monaco had not finished a match without scoring a goal in Ligue 1. The last time was against Strasbourg on March 13, 2022. A series which ends this Sunday since the Monegasques, orphans of Wissam Ben Yedder placed on the bench at the start of the game, were never really dangerous in front of Schmeichel's goal.

Like an admission of helplessness, the Rock players under the impetus of Camara and Fofana have often tried long shots, in vain.
