Soccer Aid 2025 stay: England vs World XI outcome as Carlos Tevez scores 4 and Big Zuu nets winner

What a night for former Manchester City and Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez, who clearly enjoyed being back at Old Trafford and soaked up the boos that greeted his every touch.

He responded by scoring four goals, pointing to his ear and touching the name on the back of his shirt. Did Tevez realise this was a charity match? I’m not sure but it was great to watch. Soccer Aid heritage.

Robbie Williams announces that this year’s Soccer Aid for UNICEF match raised an incredible £15,280,163.

Soccer Aid was played to raise funds for UNICEF – with the goal of providing support for children around the world and contributing towards health care, clean water and vaccination projects.

Every donation up to £5m was doubled thanks to the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation.

As match-winner Big Zuu raises the Soccer Aid trophy, the World XI have now won five of the last six matches against England since 2018.

A remarkable match from Angry Ginge, who set up Jermain Defoe’s first, cleared David Trezeguet’s shot off the line, made a handful of big blocks and clearances, and almost started a fight with Carlos Tevez.

I don’t think there could have been a more popular scorer than Big Zuu.

Big Zuu scored a dramatic winner after Carlos Tevez grabbed four goals of his own as the World XI came from behind to beat England 5-4 to regain the Soccer Aid crown at Old Trafford.

Wayne Rooney marked his return to Old Trafford by giving England the lead inside five minutes and Toni Duggan doubled their lead shortly before half time with a composed finish from the former Lionesses.

Jermain Defoe added to England’s advantage after the break, and then scored England’s fourth to become the top scorer in Soccer Aid history. But Tevez, who enjoyed playing the pantomime villain at Old Trafford, rattled off four goals in quick succession to level.

And with the match heading to penalties, YouTube star Big Zuu found the corner of the goal with a low shot past Paddy McGuiness to complete the comeback for the World XI.

The World XI win Soccer Aid again! Carlos Tevez turned the match around with four goals, before Big Zuu scored the winner from the bench!

89 mins: Incredible. Where has Carlos Tevez been for the last five years? The man is incredible. He pulls down Aaron Lennon after the winger skipped past him and accepts the yellow card. He has played the Pantomime Villain to perfection.

84 mins: Moments before Zuu’s goal it looked as if Carlos Tevez was about to square up to AngryGinge after a late challenge from the streamer. But then there was a handshake and everyone was friends again.

83 mins: WHAT A TWIST! Big Zuu comes off the bench to fire the World XI in front! Tobi Brown wins the ball in the box and Big Zuu finds the near post with his left-footed finish! He does the Ronaldo celebration to the sound of ‘ZUUUU’ and World XI have come from behind to lead for the first time.
