Soccer Aid 2024: England vs World XI - LIVE!
In a recent match held at Stamford Bridge, England secured their first victory in the Soccer Aid competition since 2018. This match, like others before it, was held to raise funds for UNICEF. The evening's grand total of over £15 million brought the total funds raised since the first Soccer Aid event in 2006 well over £100 million.
There were many ties to Chelsea in this year's matchup. The two managers were Mauricio Pochettino and Frank Lampard. Additionally, Eden Hazard, a former Blues player, returned to west London. One of the returning players was Joe Cole, who scored the first goal of the game just six minutes in. He received a pass from Jack Wilshere and successfully put the ball in the net. However, the talented World XI squad quickly countered and equalized the score.
The spectators at Stamford Bridge were thrilled when Hazard expertly curved a free-kick that went straight through David James, followed by Del Piero scoring effortlessly from a short distance after Usain Bolt passed him the ball. However, England managed to equalize before halftime, courtesy of Ellen White's goal. She executed it perfectly after an outstanding setup by Wilshere. This made Ellen the inaugural female goal scorer in Soccer Aid history.
Tony Bellew and Paddy McGuinness came in as goalkeepers in the second half, which meant that there were still lots of goals being scored. Steven Bartlett from Dragons Den scored twice and Jermain Defoe also managed to add a goal to the tally. Billy Wingrove scored a penalty for the World XI after Patrice Evra was fouled and this brought the score to 5-3, giving them a small chance of a comeback. However, England shut any hope of a comeback down when Theo Walcott scored a cool finish, ending the night on a high both on and off the field.
