After an impressive 90 minutes and 2-2 draw, Soccer Aid 2022 went to penalties.
Lee Mack scored the winning spot kick for the World XI, who won 4-1 on penalties and took home the trophy for the fourth event in a row.
The popular sporting event was raising money for UNICEF to help support disadvantaged children in more than 190 countries. Tonight’s (June 12) charity game took place at London Stadium, home to West Ham United and scene of the London 2012 Olympics.

20 minutes into the game, YouTube star Chunkz gave a penalty away after knocking down Patrice Evra in the England box.
TikTok star Noah Beck took the penalty and scored the first goal of the match – but it wasn’t long before England caught up after Chunkz was himself knocked down by Beck in the World XI box just minutes before halftime.
The YouTuber was prepared to take the penalty, but after some discussions former TOWIE star Mark Wright controversially stepped in scoring for the England team, bringing the score to 1-1.
Robbie Williams performed hit song ‘Angels’ at half-time in a bedazzled denim two-piece.
Just moments after half time, singer-songwriter Tom Grennan scored for England, but the lead was short lived when former Love Island star Kem Cetinay hit the back of the net equalling the score to 2-2.

For the fifth time in Soccer Aid history, the match had to be decided by penalties.
Beck, Cetinay and Line of Duty‘s Martin Compston all scored penalties for World XI and the final penalty, which won the match, was scored by Mack.
Mack then vowed to retire from Soccer Aid for good, telling presenter Alex Scott: “That’s it, that’s definitely it, you are playing next year, I’m not.”
Mark Wright was the only member of the England team to score a penalty past strongman Tom Stoltman.
