Matchday 2Β broke the tieΒ at theΒ top of the eFootball.Pro table,Β withβ―AS MonacoΒ positionedΒ as sole leader. They struggled to defeat a surprisingly confident Boavista FC, but after the two games and the rest of the dayβsΒ clashes, ASMΒ Lotfi, ASMΒ UsmakabyleΒ and ASMΒ KilzyouΒ lead both the league table and the main individual rankings.
Theβ―first match of the dayβ―had only two goals and anβ―equal distribution of pointsβ―for both Arsenal FC and Manchester United FC (1-0Β /Β 0-1). AlexΒ GrdΒ scored in the beginning of the first game, and spectatorsΒ didnβtΒ see more goals until the second half of the second game, when OSTRYBUCH, the winner of the Matchday 1 Best Goal award, proved that he is in the race for another prize next week.
FC Bayern MΓΌnchen vs FC Barcelonaβ―promised to be an exciting match, with AlexΒ AlguacilΒ facing his former club. TheΒ BlaugranasΒ scored first, but then the all-Spanish Bayern dominated the first game,Β whichΒ ended 2-1. The second game was decided by a sole goal of MESTREΒ who was, again, the best player of his team and his match according to theΒ eFootballΒ PES 2020 game stats.
The match that facedβ―Juventus and FC Schalke 04β―was anβ―avalanche of goals. The dominance of the Italian team was clear from the beginning; they scored four goals in the first game, and four more in the second (4-0Β /Β 4-1). The sole goal of EL_MATADOR afterΒ LoScandaloβsΒ hat-trick wasnβt even celebrated. The German team arrived in Barcelona for Matchday 2 leading the table together with AS Monaco and left with the same six points that they had in December.
AS MonacoβsΒ fixtureβ―was againβ―full of goals and excitement, but this time, the first game didnβt have a clear dominant team. The two clubs took turns facing the goalkeeper to put a final 2-2 in the scoreboard. The second game, however, showed the usual Monegasque squad, with ASMΒ UsmakabyleΒ and ASMΒ KilzyouΒ scoring (0-3). They didnβt celebrate their goals after the tie in the first game and Boavista FC kept attacking and trying, but finally Monaco got four points and the Portuguese squad only one.
In the last match of the day, betweenβ―Celtic FC and FC Nantes, both clubs fought for the victory in both games, butβ―the French team was more successfulβ―(1-1Β /Β 1-4). After the goal of INDOJAWA, the first game seemed decided. ButΒ Kepa, who didnβt play on Matchday 1 because he was representing Serbia at theΒ IeSFΒ (International eSports Federation) World Championship, scored and drew in the injury time. The second game was completely different, with FC Nantes dominating from beginning to endΒ despiteΒ Celticβs tries and JORCHAβs goal.
At the end of Matchday 2, ASMΒ UsmakabyleΒ and ASMΒ KilzyouΒ lead theΒ scorerβsΒ table with five goals each, andΒ UsmakabyleΒ is also on top of the assists table, with seven. The Best Defensive Player counter shows a different list, with FC NantesβΒ Aazbabysk, FC Schalke 04βs EL_MATADOR and Boavista FC as the men that perform the best when it comes to defensive plays.
The MVP of Matchday 1 and the best goal of those first games were awarded at the beginning of the day. OSTRYBUCH won the prize for the best goal, and ASMΒ KilzyouΒ was the best player. The awards of Matchday 2 will be given onΒ 25thΒ January. In order to decide the MVP, KONAMI will choose one player out of the five with the most CO-OP points determined by the video game.
