Around 60,000 filled West Ham Uniteds ground to watch two sides packed with social media stars. As well as KSI, real name Olajide Olatunji, social media heavyweights Mr. Beast, Calfreezy, and Chris MD also went head-to-head in aid of suicide prevention charity CALM, youth charity Teenage Cancer Trust and wish-granting charity, Rays of Sunshine.
Also featured was YouTuber iShowSpeed, the Manchester United supporter and online personality who was left heartbroken by Cristiano Ronaldo last year. The 18-year-old travelled across the Atlantic to watch the Portuguese superstar, only for Erik ten Hag to leave him out of the squad against Aston Villa.
A frantic first half saw four goals, with the All-Stars twice pegging back the Sidemen to ensure parity at the break. A flurry of goals saw the game slip away from the All-Stars midway through the second half until one of the biggest talking points of the game took place.
Sidemens Wroetoshaw fouled Chris MD in the box and who other than Ronaldo superfan iShowSpeed stepped up. However, a woeful penalty was placed straight at KSI – receiving sarcastic cheers of celebration from the crowd.
