Saudi Arabia takes home Rocket League title at FIFAe World Cup

Saudi Arabia cruised to a 4-1 victory over France on Sunday in the Rocket League grand final at the FIFAe World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

France started strong, prevailing 4-1 on Mannfield (Night), but it was all downhill from there. Team Saudi Arabia responded with a pair of 1-0 overtime victories -- on Forbidden Temple and DFH Stadium -- before ending up on the right end of a 6-1 blowout on Utopia Coliseum (Dusk).

Saudi Arabia then sealed the win by edging Team France 3-2 on Aquadome (Salty Shallows).

It was even easier for the Saudis to get through the semifinals, as they pounded Brazil 4-0. France was forced to go the distance against Morocco to punch its ticket to the grand final, and it came away with a 4-3 triumph after letting a 3-2 lead slip away.
