Big Zuu Goal Secures Soccer Aid Win for World XI
A capacity crowd at Old Trafford witnessed Big Zuu net the decisive goal as the World XI, inspired by a stellar performance from Carlos Tevez, triumphed over England in the annual Soccer Aid charity match. The thrilling encounter, the 14th edition of the event, concluded with a 5-4 scoreline in favor of the World XI and raised £15 million for UNICEF, the children’s charity.
The World XI, a mix of celebrities and former football stars, mounted a comeback after trailing 3-0 in the second half. Tevez, formerly of Manchester United and Manchester City, spearheaded the resurgence with four goals.
England’s goals all came from former international strikers. Jermain Defoe bagged two, while Wayne Rooney and Toni Duggan, who has played for Manchester City and Barcelona, each added one to give England an early lead.
The star-studded lineups included One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, YouTuber Angry Ginge, diamond from Gladiator, comedian Richard Gadd, Olympic gold medalist Sir Mo Farah, and Bella Ramsey of “The Last Of Us.”
While Tomlinson received eager cheers each time he touched the ball, Angry Ginge earned the match’s top honors. His defensive prowess, including a crucial goal-line clearance against Brazilian legend Rivaldo, led to him being named player of the match. Some social media users jokingly suggested that Manchester United should sign him following their disappointing Premier league season.
