RGN FIFA Elite: Match Day 3 Review

 

El Rey and leOmeS picked up vital wins in their quests for championship glory. Both players now have 9 points from 3 games, but their week 3 matches will serve as reminders that there are no easy games in this league.

 

El Rey (SG) 2-1 Hakumenfox (VN)

 

The El Rey Hakumenfox match ended with a bang. The Vietnamese ace snatched a 90th minute equaliser with Ronaldo, only for El Rey to storm up the other end of the pitch to score from a corner and make it 2-1.

 

KirosZ (TH) 3-4 Nonii9 (TH)

 

In the all-Thailand clash, Nonii9 led 4-0 on the 70th minute, only to be pegged back to 4-3 by the 89th minute by a resurgent KirosZ. Despite the loss, KirosZ should take some positives from the fighting spirit he showed against his compatriot.

Vin (MY) 1-0 Zarate (SG)

 

Vin bossed this game from start to finish against a new-look Zarate Real Madrid side. The Singaporean player decided to make the switch from Brazil to Madrid this weekend, and paid for his tinkering. Even though Vin ended the game with 61% possession and kept Zarate to zero shots, he was made to work hard for his win, with the winner arriving in the 84th minute from the spot.

 

Vin scores from a penalty late in the game.

 

Vin (MY) 1-1 Hakumenfox (VN)

 

Vin’s second match of the day turned out to be a much tighter affair. Hakumenfox matched him stride for stride, and after going behind early in the game, came back to score a sumptuous team goal on the stroke of half time.

KunKun (VN) 1-1 hibidi (SG)

 

A tight and cagey affair between these two players ended in a draw. hibidi took the lead early in the second half through a superb solo goal from Neymar, only for KunKun to equalize from the spot in the 76th minute. Both players hardly wanted a draw, and are now stuck on 2 points along with 3 other players in the league.

leOmeS (MY) 1-0 si_jali (MY)

 

It was one of those days for si_jali, Malaysia’s most decorated FIFA player controlled the entire game, but somehow managed to lose. Si_jali created chance after chance after chance but failed to convert a single one, and was eventually punished by leOmeS who was simply more clinical on the day. The winner arrived midway through the second half, courtesy of a trademark Cristiano Ronaldo free-kick from 25 yards out. leOmeS hangs on to his 100% start - but only just.

 

Against the run of play, leOmeS smashes a free-kick home to take all 3 points against si_jali
