Danial Patel's Dream Run At FIFAe World Cup Ends In Semis
FIFAe World Cup: In the first-ever FIFAe World Cup ft. eFootball - Mobile, India's Danial Patel's sensational run ended in the semi-finals after going down to Malaysia at the SEF Arena here on Wednesday.
The 17-year-old, who had taken the group stage by storm, pumping in 20 goals to finish second, registered a stunning comeback win against Turkiye's YUSA in the quarter-finals. The knockout stage was held in a best-of-three format.
Turkiye nicked the first game 2-1 in extra time despite Danial equalising with the last kick of the game in normal time. However, he bounced back in the second game, and after a cagey and goalless 90 in-game minutes, saw off a 1-0 win in extra time to force a deciding third game. The decider proved to be a one-sided affair as Danial went out all guns blazing and raced to a two-goal lead before half-time. Turkiye did not have enough left in the tank to make a comeback and Danial cruised into the last four.
