🎮 Germany host Spain in FIFA 20; Leno takes on Asensio! | OneFootball

Football has stopped almost everywhere around the globe. But FIFA 20 are providing solutions!

Thanks to a new E-Sports initiative, Germany will host Spain in four friendlies involving professionals from the real and virtual world.

The fixtures took place as follows:

Vanessa Fudalla (GER) v Sheila García (ESP) – Final result: 4-4

To kick things off, we started with two representatives of the women’s national teams.

Fudalla took control early on and raced into a 3-1 lead at half time, before a spirited comeback from García saw her turn things around at 3-4.

Staring defeat in the face, the German international somehow equalised late on to salvage a thrilling draw.

MoAuba (GER) v JRA10 (ESP) – Final result: 1-3

Then it was the turn of our e-athletes, with world champion MoAuba facing off against JRA10.

The German was in control and went into half-time with a 1-0 lead, before everything went horribly wrong.

JRA10 was a changed man and showed off some clinical Fifa skills, scoring twice to go ahead, before sealing a third on the break.

Nico Schlotterbeck (GER) v Abel Ruíz (ESP) – Final result: 6-1

For the third fixture, it was the turn of two Under-21 internationals to face off.

Freiburg defender Schlotterbeck took on Abel Ruíz – formerly of Barcelona – and embarrassed him in a true Fifa mismatch.

Ruíz actually took the lead, but it was a ruthless performance from the German who then scored SIX goals without reply.

Bernd Leno (GER) v Marco Asensio (ESP) – Final score: 2-3

And for the grand finale, Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno took on Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio.

The Spaniard showed why he is so highly rated by racing into a two-goal lead, before Leno brought a shock into question with two quick goals.

But Asensio kept his cool and went ahead again, before Leno missed a host of opportunities to equalise late on.
