Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi came off the bench for Hamburg in their 1-0 home win over Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on Saturday. As reported by FootballInNigeria.com.ng, he replaced Fábio Vieira in the 78th minute at a sold-out Volksparkstadion.
Moffi has scored one goal in six appearances for Hamburg this season. He made a lively impression in the closing stages.
Miro Muheim scored the only goal in the 88th minute, firing in from about 25 metres. It was his second successive late winner, following his goal and assist in the 3-2 win at Hoffenheim.
A Stubborn Defensive Display
Stuttgart controlled 66 per cent of the possession and had 19 attempts, according to match data. Deniz Undav hit the post in the first half, but Hamburg goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes, the man of the match, kept the visitors out.
Hamburg had to rebuild their defensive midfield for the game. Captain Nicolai Remberg is out with a cruciate ligament injury, and Albert Sambi Lokonga missed out with a muscle problem.

Hamburg On A Roll
It was Hamburg’s third straight Bundesliga win, their first such run since 2010/11. The result lifted them to ninth on nine points, above Stuttgart.
Coach Merlin Polzin praised the team’s belief, calling it “a great moment for us and for Miro.” He said the side can hold its own in the Bundesliga with its own style.

What It Means For Moffi
A late cameo isn’t what a striker wants, but Hamburg’s recent wins have come from changes late in games. Polzin used three substitutes in the closing stages, including Moffi.
Is Moffi’s one goal in six games a concern? Not yet, but he’ll want a start soon. A striker needs minutes to build rhythm, and Hamburg’s winning run gives him a stable base.
