The first #eDerby ends all square: it finishes 2 - 2 between Esposito and Leao on PES 2020

MILAN - This week's eSports event saw a special and exclusive game take place on Saturday. Sebastiano Esposito and Rafael Leã​​​​o took each other on in the first-ever virtual Milan Derby. Played on PES 2020 and shown live on the Nerazzurri's social media channels and DAZN, the #eDerbyMilano finished in a thrilling 2-2 draw.  

Sebastiano Esposito vs. Rafael Leã​​​​o. With their controllers in their hands, the two young strikers put on a real show. Esposito decided to name himself in the starting line-up behind Lukaku and Lautaro. Rafael Leã​​​​o did the same, selecting himself alongside Ibrahimovic up front.

The Portuguese striker struck first through his virtual self in added time at the end of the first half following a one-two with Ibrahimovic. Esposito responded immediately after the break through Lukaku, who finished of Lautaro Martinez's assist. 

The second period was full of drama as Rafael Leã​​​​o hit the post and Donnarumma made a number of saves. In the 76th minute, Lukaku picked out Lautaro and the Argentine did the rest. But this goal wasn't enough to give Esposito and Inter the win: Leã​​​​o managed to equalise through Ibrahimovic. Esposito's pressure in the final stages ultimately came to nothing: the first #eDerbyMilano finished all square.
