FIFA eNations Cup 2019: DaXe's Top Plays, Prize Money from Final Win

Gianni VerschuerenApr 14, 2019

France won the inaugural FIFA eNations Cup on Sunday, beating Argentina in the final thanks to a solo win from Lucas Cuillerier, also known by his gamertag, DaXe.

Team-mate Vitality Maestro and Nicolas99fc had played out a 1-1 draw in the first one-on-one match before DaXe took a two-goal lead over Yago and avoided a late comeback, winning 2-1.

Here are the match highlights from the first contest:

And the goal that clinched the eventual win:

Here's how the knockout stages played out:

The winners of the eNations Cup received 1500 EA SPORTS Global Series points per player as well as $40,000 for the team. For a full breakdown of the prize money, click here.

In the first semi-final of the day, Argentina needed just two matches to get past Denmark, but both were tight affairs.

Marcus Jorgensen had a back-and-forth battle with Nicolas99fc but squandered the lead twice. The Argentine used a passing-based attack to score several impressive goals, including this one:

He would go on to win 3-2 to hand his country the early advantage.

Yago played well early in his 3-2 win over Fatih Ustun, taking a three-goal lead with some tremendous attacking moves. This passing sequence was the cream of the crop:

His opponent would get on the board just before the midway point of the second half, and a second goal for the Danish player set up a frantic finale in which he fell just short.

Vitality Maestro needed just a single goal to give France the advantage over Portugal in the first match of the other semi-final, and team-mate Cuillerier came from behind against Diogo Pombo to close out the show.

Pombo is a strong defensive player, but there was nothing he could do about this stunning equaliser:

Portugal had qualified for the semi-finals by upsetting Spain earlier in the day, needing penalties to get past their Iberian neighbours after a tough battle:

Both Argentina and France didn't need a two-on-two in the quarter-finals to get past England and Brazil, respectively, and both nations were the true standouts Sunday. DaXe was almost flawless throughout the day, and it was only fitting he clinched the win for Les Bleus.
