Italy fall short in the FIFA eFootball Play x Unite 2020 Cup, the international friendly tournament on FIFA 20’s virtual pitches. Our FIFA 20 eNazionale powered by TIMVISION, made up out of AC Monza’s eplayer Raffaele ‘Er_caccia98’ Cacciapuoti on PlayStation and Marco ‘TactualStrange’ Paolicelli on Xbox, were beaten 5-1 by Belgium, abandoning any hopes of reaching the final.

After a narrow 2-1 loss in the first game by ‘Er_caccia98’ Cacciapuoti on PlayStation, ‘TactualStrange’ Paolicelli fell to a 3-0 defeat on Xbox. As a result, Belgium headed through to another match-up against Sweden, who were beaten 8-1 by Portugal in a clash between the top two from the group. Belgium lost 3-1 to the Swedes, who will now face Portugal in the final looking to make up for last night’s defeat. The winner will then face the top nation from the other mini-tournament between England, Germany, Poland and Switzerland.
