Moffi’s first Hamburg goal
Terem Moffi scored his first goal for Hamburg as the club came from behind to beat Hoffenheim 3-2 on Saturday. Hamburg trailed 2-1 with seven minutes remaining before the Nigerian striker levelled the scores. FootballInNigeria.com.ng reports that Miro Muheim then completed the comeback in stoppage time.
Moffi came on for Martin Adeline in the 76th minute and found the net in the 83rd. It was his first goal since joining Hamburg this summer, after four appearances without one.

Muheim’s cross, Muheim’s winner
Muheim provided the cross that set up Moffi’s equaliser, and he scored the winner deep in stoppage time. Merlin Polzin’s side had looked beaten with less than 10 minutes to play.
Moffi told Hamburg’s website that he is very proud of the team and described the pass as “a truly wonderful cross”. He said all he had to do was get into position.
He added that he felt the team still had a chance to win, and he praised the large number of Hamburg fans who travelled to the game.

A fresh start after a hard year
Moffi joined Hamburg from Nice on August 24 on a three-year contract. The reported fee is €2.5 million including bonuses, far below the roughly €22.5 million Nice paid Lorient for him in 2023.
His time in France ended after a cruciate ligament injury in 2024/25, a confrontation with fans at the training ground in November 2025 and a short loan at Porto. He scored three goals in 15 games for Porto in the second half of last season.
