June 13, (THEWILL) – Terem Moffi, the dogged Nigerian striker, has been awarded the prestigious UEFA Europa Conference League Goal of the Season accolade.
His remarkable acrobatic finish during OGC Nice’s enthralling 2-2 draw against FC Basel in the quarter-final clash on April 13, caught the attention of UEFA’s technical observer panel, who deemed it the most outstanding goal of the entire 2022/2023 season.
Moffi’s exceptional strike had previously garnered recognition as the finest Goal of the Week at that stage of the competition. The 23-year-old marksman’s achievements make him the first Nigerian player to secure such an accomplishment in this highly competitive continental tournament.
Notably, Moffi’s compatriot, Samuel Chukwueze, also earned recognition, finishing in fourth position for his splendid goal during Villarreal’s 4-3 victory over Bulgarian club Lech Poznan on matchday one.
