ESports team pick up seven points for starters in eFootball Championship Pro

The FC Bayern Esports team clocked up seven points from the first two matchdays in Konami's eFootball Championship Pro. The team coached by Matthias Luttenberger, made up of the three Spaniards José Carlos Sánchez, Miguel Mestre and Alex Alguacil, faced Manchester United in the opening group match on Saturday. In the first game, Miguel Mestre earned a point for FCB with a 4-4 draw where he equalised four times. Alex Alguacil then had to settle for a 3-1 defeat. But José Carlos Sánchez was able to win 2-1 in the last of three games. That means Bayern clocked up four points on the first matchday (three for a win, one for a draw).
