How Things Unfolded in the Knockout Stages

Day 1 of the knockouts saw the second and third seed go head-to-head in the playoffs for a spot in the round of 16. The day started by KeturDylo thumping Serie A champion HHezerS 7-3 in a thrilling victory. KeturDylo simply punished every mistake made by his opponent.

Elsewhere, an incredible matchup between Montaxer and Marley ended with the former pulling a comeback from two goals down to win 4-3. The game was heading into extra time when Montaxer scored a corner to secure victory.

One of the best matches of the eChampions League group stages was between eLigue 1 champion Fouma and DaniPitbull. Both players showed their attacking brilliance but it was DaniPitbull who walked away with a 6-4 win.

The epic battle between Bonanno and Rikhard11 showed why the Manchester City star should never be ruled out. Bonanno trailed 3-0 at half-time but somehow managed to complete a shocking turnaround in regular time before clinching victory in extra time. In the next match, Red Bull Leipzig star Umut was stunned by Ekmenn94 who won their tie 6-3.

There was more drama in the match between Ekstraklasa champion Riptorek and Andonii, with the latter narrowly losing 5-4. The last two matches of the day saw Torino CF’s Luco Negua thrash Feldman 4-1 and Cadiz CF’s DFernandes beating Isopowerr 6-5.

The drama continued on Sunday when a total of 16 players battled it out to qualify for the finals. The most shocking upset of the knockouts took place in the first match of the day as FC Pro Open winner PHzin was stunned by Montaxer.

PHzin scored first and showed his prowess in the first half but thing changed in the second period when Montaxer grew in the game and ended up recording a convincing 4-1 win. Meanwhile, Jonas “Jonny” Wirth continued with his incredible run by securing a 2-1 victory over KeturDylo.

City’s Bonanno stunned fans by how he destroyed Levi de Weerd’s defending to take a 4-0 lead. Levi scored three quick goals to reduce the deficit but Bonanno held on to book his place in the finals.

The match between Paris Saint-Germain’s NKantee and DaniPitbull saw both players exchanged goals for 90 minutes. The scoreline was 3-3 in stoppage time when a poor tackle by NKantee gifted his opponent a penalty to win the match 4-3.
