Jafonso’s road to victory
The Luna Galaxy player’s journey to the top was nothing short of extraordinary. With Armando Vale (his coach) by his side, Jafonso faced the world’s best and proved that with determination and skill, anything is possible. In the grand final, he showcased his mastery by defeating Brazil’s Gabriel “Young” Freitas with a commanding 6-2 victory, bringing home the prestigious title and a prize of $300,000. This victory places him at the pinnacle of virtual football, making him a role model for aspiring players in our academy.
From the very start of the tournament, Jafonso demonstrated why he’s one of the best in the game. Dominating the group stages with a near-perfect record, he went on to eliminate some of the toughest competitors, including the reigning world champion. His nail-biting semi-final victory, secured in the last moments of extra time, is a reminder of the resilience and composure that defines a true champion.
This win is not just a personal victory for Jafonso but a moment of immense pride for all of us at AXXE Academy. It’s a shining example of what our players can achieve with the right mindset and training.
