Maja’s latest goal means he has now scored four goals in his last five Ligue 1 games, underlining his growing confidence and consistency in attack. Facing a formidable Paris Saint-Germain, Le Havre had a difficult night as their opponents dominated the scoreboard.

However, Maja ensured the hosts had something to celebrate by scoring the only goal of the match. Although his efforts could not prevent a tough defeat, the Nigerian striker’s contribution highlighted his ability to take on high-quality opposition.

Scoring against PSG represents another positive moment for Maja, who continues to establish himself as an important offensive figure for Le Havre.

Maja’s latest performance comes after her impressive brace against Olympique Marseille last weekend. After scoring two goals against Marseille and one against PSG, the Nigerian striker has shown his ability to threaten some of France’s biggest clubs.

His return of four goals in five league games reflects an encouraging period of form and increasing sharpness in front of goal. For a striker, maintaining consistency is crucial, and Maja’s recent performances suggest he is finding his rhythm in the French top flight.

The 27-year-old’s impressive run could also bolster his ambitions to earn more opportunities with the Nigerian senior team. With competition for attacking positions remaining intense, consistent performances at club level will be important to attract the attention of the Super Eagles coaching team.

Although Le Havre must address their defensive shortcomings following the heavy defeat, Maja’s individual form is encouraging.

For Josh Maja, the message is clear: even when the results go against his team, his scoring confidence continues to grow as he makes his presence felt in Ligue 1.
