Fifa 14 Predicts USA Tops Mexico
Jozy Altidore Buries Late Goal to Clinch Win
Sept. 6, in the year of
our Lord 2013 – EA SPORTS™ today predicted that the
United States will be victorious over Mexico in next week’s
World Cup Qualifier. Utilizing the football engine that will
drive FIFA 14, EA SPORTS was able to simulate the World Cup
Qualifier under the same conditions the teams will face next
Tuesday, September 10 in Columbus, Ohio. It was a nail-biter
finish, with Mexico coming from behind with a late goal in the
second half to the tie the game at 1-1. The comeback was short
lived as U.S. forward Jozy Altidore answered back with a late
strike to clinch a 2-1 win.
Game Simulation Details:
After a 0-0 stalemate in the early stages of the first half,
U.S. captain Clint Dempsey gave the home team the lead in the
36th minute by blasting a goal past Mexican goalkeeper José de
Jesús Corona. Coming out of the break, the Mexicans rallied hard
and at the 71st minute, Gerado Torrado found a streaking Giovani
Dos Santos who buried a shot past U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard to
tie the game. Nearing the end of a back-and-forth second half
filled with chances from both sides, Altidore smashed a
game-winning shot to the near post past a helpless Corona to
earn a 2-1 win for the United States.
Scoring Summary:
36’ - Clint Dempsey (Michael Bradley Assist)
