Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2 has beaten EA Sports' beloved FIFA Street 2 to be crowned the best PlayStation 2 football title of all time.

Sony's fan-favourite console was released 20 years ago today in Japan before it launched in North America and Europe in October and November 2000 respectively.

And fans over at Ranker have had their say on the best football title to feature on the PS2.

Japanese publisher Konami dominated the top two spots in the rankings with Pro Evolution Soccer 2 and Pro Evolution Soccer 6 coming first and second respectively.

The cult classic FIFA Street 2 came third in the rankings, with its predecessor landing in the No 7 spot.

EA Sports' mainline FIFA series only has one entry in the top 10 as FIFA 14 finished fourth.

In complete contrast, five of Konami's PES instalments were featured in the top 10.
