Top athletes from the NBA and world football showcased their FIFA 20 skills Wednesday for the start of B/R Football's Battle for the Belt.

The eight-man tournament began with a matchup between Philadelphia 76ers guard Josh Richardson and Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard.

The contest was closely contested as Richardson's Real Madrid and Lingard's Barcelona were tied 1-1 late in the match. Richardson finally broke through with the go-ahead goal in the 78th minute before piling on two more for an eventual 4-1 victory.

In addition to their back-and-forth banter about the game, the two also discussed a variety of topics about the two leagues, including training and addressing the refs.
