Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi came off the bench to score his first goal for Porto as the Liga Portugal leaders secured a 3-1 victory over Arouca in their league clash on Friday night, Bold Sports reports.
The 26-year-old who joined Porto on loan from Nice during the January transfer window, came on in the 62nd minute and sealed the hosts’ win with a late goal, ensuring they claimed their third straight victory.
Porto gained control of the encounter from the start as highly-rated youngster Oskar Pietuszewski found the net seconds into the game, giving them a 1-0 lead. However, the hosts were pegged back in the 70th minute through Nais Djouahra’s goal, making it 1-1.
The match was heading for a draw until the 87th minute when substitute Seko Fofana won a penalty. Another substitute William Gomes took the spot-kick and converted with a left-footed shot to the top right corner, making it 2-1.
