Terem Moffi's reaction on who wins the Ballon d'Or

“For the Ballon d’Or, it’s not up to me to say whether Benzema deserves it or not.

“But he won everything; he scored a lot of goals… Sadio Mané was also very successful, scoring very important goals. My favorite choice would go for my ‘African brother’, but I think Benzema should win, thanks to his performances with Real Madrid and the France team.”

Moffi has been impressive for Lorient so far this season and he once again proved himself one of the most reliable forwards in Europe so far this term.

Brest, playing in front of their fans, started the battle with more energy and in pursuit of the opening score against Moffi and his teammates.

Brest eventually got their breakthrough in the 17th minute when Romain Del Castillo fired in a brilliant goal to give his side the lead.
