This Division 9 PvP match in eFootball was stressing me from the start. I was playing as PSG in dark blue vs BVB in yellow and from kickoff the guy was just on me. He pressed with Dash & Press, kept using Match-up to cut my passing lanes and I couldn’t find space. I had Batistuta, Frenkie de Jong, Kimmich, Steven Gerrard and Neymar Jr on the pitch trying to build but nothing was working. The timer was going 16:56, 18:02, 19:09 and it was just back and forth in midfield. You could see on the screen how tight it was, every pass I made he was already there with Tackle. Then around 27 minutes he finally broke through and scored. The “GOAL!!!” flashed big on the pitch and it was 1-0 to him. I was mad but I told myself it’s still early, Division 9 is tough but comebacks happen.
After going down 1-0 I started pushing more. I was switching players with Switch, trying to use Through balls to Batistuta but his defense was solid. 20:14, 21:23, 23:04 on the clock and I was just chasing the game. I brought Neymar to the wing to try and create something, had Kimmich and de Jong recycling possession in the middle. The controls were showing Pass, Dash, Through, Clear and I was spamming everything trying to equalize. The stadium was full and you could feel the pressure because losing in Division 9 means you drop points fast. I kept thinking “just one goal” but every time I got near his box he’d clear it or his keeper would come out. It was frustrating because I knew I was better on the ball but he was just more clinical.
By the time we hit 30+ minutes I was still down 1-0 and I was planning how to change formation for second half. I was moving the ball with Gerrard and Kimmich, trying to pull his defenders out of position. Then suddenly everything froze. The game just stopped and a “Please Wait” box popped up saying “Opponent is choosing settings.” with that spinning circle. At first I thought maybe he was changing tactics or pausing. I waited like 10 seconds, then 20 seconds. Nothing. The match clock was stuck and my players were just standing on the pitch. I knew what was happening because I’ve seen it before in PvP.
Yeah he disconnected. No rage quit message, no warning, just straight up left the match. When someone disconnects in eFootball PvP after a certain point and they’re winning, the game usually awards you the win if they don’t reconnect. So after waiting on that “Please Wait” screen for a bit, it just ended and gave me the 3 points. I went from losing 1-0 and being frustrated to winning the Division 9 match just like that. It felt weird because I didn’t get to score or equalize, but a win is a win in Division.
Honestly that match was annoying but I’ll take it. PSG vs BVB, down 1-0, 30+ minutes in and then the guy just quits. Division 9 PvP is like that sometimes, people don’t like losing so they’d rather disconnect. I had Batistuta running around all game and Neymar trying to cook but nothing came of it. Still, the game counted it as my win and my Division points went up. Next match I’m hoping for someone who actually finishes the game, win or lose. But for now I’m just happy I didn’t drop to Division 10 because of that 1-0.
