Well, talk about an absolute thriller of a match! In a showdown with everyone on the edge of their seats, Terem Moffi and his Nice squad pulled off a 3-2 win against Paris Saint-Germain, handing them their first Ligue 1 loss of the season. And mind you, this was despite a double from none other than Kylian Mbappe!

So, what happened? New coach Luis Enrique was probably gearing up for PSG’s Champions League face-off against Borussia Dortmund next Tuesday, but Nice had other plans. PSG’s defence looked like Swiss cheese, full of holes and giving Moffi the space he thrives in. The guy was electric, his speed making him a nightmare for defenders and his wide runs off the ball playing perfectly into Nice’s counterattacking style.

Now, let’s get into the meat and potatoes of the match. Moffi got the scoreboard ticking in the 21st minute. A scrappy situation in the box ended with him clipping a deflected shot past PSG’s goalie Gianluigi Donnarumma. But Mbappe wasn’t having any of it. Eight minutes later, the French superstar fired back with a scorcher from 20 meters out, leaving former PSG ‘keeper Marcin Bułka with no chance.

The match was a roller coaster, guys. In the 53rd minute, Moffi turned provider, whipping a cross from the left that found Gaetan Laborde perfectly positioned for a sliding finish at the far post. Moffi still needed to dazzle the crowd, though. In the 68th minute, after a neat flick to Laborde, he received a return pass and bam! He nailed a low shot that sneaked past Donnarumma, sending Nice fans ecstatic. His celebration? Classic Moffi, whipping off his shirt and swinging it around—though that earned him a yellow card and a verbal jab from Mbappe.

Despite a late-game goal from Mbappe set up by Randal Kolo Muani—PSG’s third most expensive signing ever, mind you—Nice held on for the win. The loss leaves PSG just a smidge behind in the league standings, trailing one point behind second-place Nice and two behind Monaco’s leaders.

It was an evening where Moffi stole the spotlight from Mbappe, and Nice exposed PSG’s defensive flaws like they were reading an open book. Yeah, it’s still early in the season, but you’ve got to think that Enrique and his PSG crew have a lot of homework to do, especially with the Champions League clash around the corner. Cheers to Nice, though. They’re the talk of the town for all the right reasons.
