Complexity Gaming beat Gareth Bale's Ellevens in Milan to win the Fifa eClub World Cup for the first time.

Complexity, co-owned by Dallas Cowboy owner Jerry Jones, beat Ellevens on penalties after the game finished 0-0.

Americans Joksan Redona Tello, 21, and Max Popov, 17, won $40,000 (£31,000) and 20 Global Series ranking points.

"Winning the Fifa eClub World Cup title is huge for us and a major step forward ahead of the Fifa eWorld Cup this summer," said Tello.

Manchester City esports finished fifth in their group, and so did not qualify for the knockout stages.
