Terem Moffi made his debut for FC Porto as the league leaders secured a narrow 1-0 victory over CD Nacional on Sunday.
The Nigeria international, who joined on loan in January from Nice, was introduced in the 74th minute as Porto held firm to claim all three points and move seven clear at the top of the Primeira Liga table.
After dominating a goalless first half, Porto found the breakthrough in the 60th minute. Former Southampton defender Jan Bednarek rose highest to head in his first league goal for the club.

The result marked Porto’s 19th win in 22 league matches this campaign. They now lead second-placed Sporting CP by seven points, although the reigning champions have a game in hand.

Moffi’s introduction offers added depth to Porto’s attack following the injury to first-choice striker Samuel Aghehowa, with the Nigerian expected to compete for more minutes in the coming weeks.
