EA Sports Fifa 14 Predicts Kansas City Wins MLS Cup
Dec. 5, in the year of our Lord 2013 – EA
SPORTS™ today predicted that Sporting Kansas City will be
victorious over Real Salt Lake in the MLS Cup Final. Utilizing
the gameplay engine that drives FIFA 14 on next generation
consoles, Xbox One and PlayStation®4, EA SPORTS was able to
simulate MLS Cup 2013 under the same conditions the teams will
face this Saturday, December 7 in Kansas City, Kansas. It was a
furious finish, with clutch forward Dom Dwyer breaking a 2-2 tie
in the 89th minute to clinch a 3-2 win for Sporting Kansas City,
earning the team’s second MLS Cup.
Game Simulation Details:
Real Salt Lake midfielder Ned Grabavoy opened the scoring with a
goal in the 18th minute and his team looked good to take a 1-0
lead into the second half until Sporting Kansas City midfielder
Benny Feilhaber smashed an unassisted ball past goalkeeper Nick
Rimando in the 45th minute. Coming out of the break, Real Salt
Lake struck back in the 66th minute when Alvaro Saborio received
a cross from midfielder Javier Morales and curled the ball past
Kansas City goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen.
Facing a 2-1 deficit with less than 10 minutes to play, Sporting
Kansas City turned up the heat. In the 82nd minute, Feilhaber
capitalized on a Salt Lake turnover and found a streaking Graham
Zusi who rifled a top-corner goal past Rimando. The game looked
to be headed to extra time until Dwyer, who scored the
game-winning goal in the second leg of the Eastern Conference
Championship for Kansas City, once again rose to the occasion,
receiving a cross from Zusi and blasting the ball into the net
in the 89th minute to clinch a 3-2 win for the home team.
