Terem Moffi came under fire in the first leg, having missed two clear-cut chances in the opening minutes of the game.

The OGC Nice loanee was withdrawn in the 58th minute, replaced by Deniz Gul after the fans booed him off.

However, coach Farioli has urged the Nigerian forward to forget what happened in Portugal last week and focus on knocking Forest out.

“Both Francisco Moura and Terem Moffi have given everything they have.

“Terem Moffi came from a display with some mistakes, Francisco Moura lived a difficult period, but it is important in this final stretch to have everyone on board and made me happy this initiative carried out by Jardel, the person took the two players to the fans. It says a lot about the environment we live in.

“They all play a key role, sometimes invisible. Everyone’s job is not the guarantee of securities, but when everyone plays a role and puts everything in the right place brings us closer to the possibility of being successful.

“What we call the portista family is this spirit, this desire and this participation of all those around the team,” the Italian coach said as per the club’s official website.

Moffi has scored two goals in twelve goals for FC Porto since joining during the winter transfer window.
