The forward featured for 16 minutes in the keenly contested contest.
Fariolli revealed Moffi is nearing full fitness.
“These past few weeks have been good for improvement; he’s working hard. I’ve already said that in terms of weight and body composition, he’s back to where he should be. He’s close,” Fariolli told reporters.
“When could he be a starter? Soon. We have Deniz at the moment, who is a step ahead. In the coming weeks, we’ll need both of them to help us maintain a very high level.”
