At Stamford Bridge, England defeated the World XI 6-3, achieving their first victory in Soccer Aid since 2018.

With over £15 million raised on the night, the total raised since the first Soccer Aid match in 2006 well past the £100 million mark, putting the fixture back on track to earn money for UNICEF.

Mauricio Pochettino and Frank Lampard, two coaches, and Eden Hazard, one of the former Blues players returning to west London, all have ties to Chelsea in this year’s match.

As one of them, Joe Cole scored the game’s first goal six minutes in, heading in a cross from Jack Wilshere. However, the World XI’s first-rate forwards made sure the other team scored soon after.
