Match-winner Moffi: I was tired but Lorient needed me against Lille

The 22-year-old was part of the Super Eagles' squad that travelled to Cape Verde before linking Lorient for Friday's league match

Terem Moffi said he was tired after his international assignment with Nigeria before his heroics led Lorient to a 2-1 victory over Lille in Friday’s Ligue 1 match.

Moffi joined Gernot Rohr’s team in making the trip to Cape Verde for their 2022 World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday and he came on as a 73rd-minute substitute in their 2-1 comeback triumph over the Blue Sharks.

After returning to Lagos on Wednesday, the 22-year-old linked Lorient to get ready for les Merlus’ league outing against Lille on Friday.
