Against professional EA Sports FIFA player for New England Revolution, John Oliveira, the boys in Old Glory Red couldn’t have scripted a better start until the legitimate eSports pro simply found his groove. Justin Sterk, winner of the inaugural SRFCxFIFA20 Tournament, stunned the opposition with an opening goal in just the fourth minute of the match. Forward Raul Jimenez powered home a header after Hirving Lozano whipped in a perfect cross from the right flank.
The goal was the Wolverhampton Wanderers striker’s sixth goal of the competition.
It was as if Russia was a sleeping giant and the goal immediately woke up the European nation because after El Tri took the lead, Russia was too much to handle. Two goals from Alexandr Golovin and scores from Denis Cheryshev and Fyodor Smolov granted Russia the 4-1 win.
