Highlights

Montaxer's victory over PHzin was one of the biggest surprises and the biggest comeback of the Round of 16. PHzin's impressive track record and numerous trophies and Montaxer, who has shown significant improvement over the past year, faced a challenging first half in which the Italian was at a disadvantage by 1-0. However, Montaxer managed not only to equalize but also to surpass the score in the last minutes, ultimately securing a remarkable 4-1 victory against the 2-time FIFAe Nations Cup Champion.

After his victory against PHzin, Montaxer shared his thoughts: "I think this year he (PHzin) was the best player in the game. So I'm really happy (...) I think I was losing a lot of balls in the first half. Even if I was defending, I think really, really good. But yeah, in the second half I unlocked both fullbacks because I knew that I had to be more aggressive (...)"
