  1. xMusti19 wins Grand Finalpublished at 22:58 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    xMusti19 is the third EA FIFA 21 Global Series Regional Qualifier after beating Ollelito in the Grand Final.

    The two met in the Winners Final with xMusti19 running out the comfortable winner. The Grand Final was no different as xMusti19 dominated from early on to eventually win 10-4 on aggregate.

    He was first on the scoreboard and didn't look back after that, controlling both the first and second leg.

    The German won the first match 3-1 and made sure he would be the regional qualifier with a brilliant display in the second. His 7-3 victory in the second leg meant he was the runaway victor of Grand Final.

    The competition continues tomorrow from 17:15 GMT for the PS4 tournament. Join us then!

  3. Ollelito sets up rematch with xMusti19 in Grand Finalpublished at 21:45 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    Ollelito bounced back from defeat in the Winners Final to beat KFC_Pablo and set up a rematch against xMusthi19 in the Grand Final.

    KFC_Pablo's performances in the competition have been remarkable given that he doesn't even feature in the top 30 Xbox rankings, but this match proved too much.

    Ollelito was in control throughout the tie to come through with a 4-1 win on aggregate.

    A 3-0 win in the first leg left KFC_Pablo with a lot to do. He gave himself a chance of a remarkable victory taking the lead in the first half of the second leg.

    That hope was short-lived as a well worked goal after 60 minutes restored a three goal cushion. A late strike by the Russian was not enough to prevent Ollelito setting up a rematch with xMusti19.

    KFC_Pablo scored two goals in the final 13 minutes of the second leg to win the loser bracket semi-final and set up a final against Ollelito.

    The Russian dominated the early stages of the first leg scoring two wonderful goals but it seemed he was on his way out as TG Dani controlled the second game.

    With 13 minutes to go TG Dani was 3-2 up on aggregate and seemingly cruising to a place in the final.

    KFC_Pablo then leveled with a fine strike before clinching the win and a place in the loser bracket final with a goal in the 89th minute.

    xMusti19 controlled the Winner Final to earn a place in the Grand Final.

    The German comfortably won the first leg 3-1 to leave Ollelito with a mountain to climb going into the second leg. He controlled both matches, creating chances throughout to win the tie 5-3 on aggregate.

    Sweden's Ollelito scored a crucial goal with the last kick of the first game to give him some hope of overturning the deficit in the second leg. xMusti19 proved to be just too good over both legs and will be a firm favourite in the Grand Final.

  9. KFC_Pablo too good for MarcMarleyyypublished at 19:01 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    Nerves were apparent in an error-strewn first leg of the second quarter-final in the loser bracket. MarcMarleyyy controlled the game in the early stages and took a well-deserved lead after 20 minutes.

    A KFC_Pablo goal against the run of play just before half-time turned the fixture on its head and he didn't look back from then.

    Three second-half goals secured a 4-1 win leaving MarcMarleyy with a lot to do in the second leg.

    It proved too much as a 1-1 draw was played out comfortably by KFC_Pablo to guarantee his place in the semi-final.

  11. TG Dani through to semi-finalpublished at 18:14 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    It took a penalty shootout to separate PSV Dennis and TG Dani as the first loser bracket quarter-final ended 2-2 on aggregate after two legs.

    A goalless extra-time meant the semi-final place was decided from the penalty spot.

    TG Dani held his nerve and will face the winner of the next game between KFC_Pablo and MarcMarleyyy in the loser bracket semi-final.

  12. First tie heads to extra-timepublished at 18:03 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    A first-half goal was enough for PSV Dennis to win the first leg of the loser’s quarter-final. In an end-to-end match TG Dani wasn't able to break down the PSV Dennis defence.

    TG Dani struck quickly in the second leg with a goal after just four minutes to re-establish himself in the tie.

    He looked the stronger of the two players and a goal in the 63rd minute seemed like it would be enough to send him through to the semi-final.

    A sloppy mistake just minutes later saw PSV Dennis level on aggregate, enough to send the fixture into extra-time.
