THE Match for Hope concluded in thrilling fashion in Qatar with ELEVEN goals scored!

Team Chunkz x IShowSpeed lost to Team KSI x AboFlah in the blockbuster charity match, which broke last year's record to raise over $10m to help an estimated 70,000 school children in countries around the world.

Football legends such as Thierry Henry, Andrea Pirlo, Alessandro, Del Piero, Andres Iniesta and David Silva featured alongside some of the biggest names on the internet.

But the game got off to a dramatic start when KSI netted an absolutely AWFUL own goal - from a Speed assist.

  • Wenger the joker

    Sharky gave some insight into Arsene Wenger's management style for the game.

    The Arsenal legend - who was joined by French superstar actor Omar Sy in the dugout - is quite the class clown.

    Sharky said: "He’s actually a comedian you know! His team talk was like a stand up set.

    "But he’s really calm, composed. He has that aura, he knows he’s a legend."

  • E the man

    Eman SV2 put on a sensational show, bagging a hat-trick with three beautiful goals.

    He could've had another but his shot from a tight angle hit the post and bounced back out.

    Eman's first goal was a rocket from the edge of the box, his second a curling strike into the far corner and his third a lovely finish after smart movement.

    But while he scored a hat-trick and got the man of the match award, Eman was gutted about the defeat.

    He said: "It doesn’t hit the same because we didn’t win,

    "But [with] the amount we raised for charity, I’m so happy."

  • Recap

    It was an 11-goal thriller in Qatar and we had some pretty unlikely names on the scoresheet - four goals flew in inside 20 minutes before Team KSI x AboFlah took a dominant 5-2 lead into half-time.

    KSI scored a horror own goal to open the scoring before angryginge's brave header pulled one back for KSI x AboFlah, with Billy Wingrove adding a smart second soon after.

    Eman SV2 then scored the first of his three goals with a rocket into the top corner, before KSI x AboFlah took control in the first-half.

    Musaed Al Fouzam, an AboFlah penalty and an Alessandro del Piero breakaway goal had them leading 5-2 at the break.

    But Chunkz x iShowSpeed fought back, with Man City legend David Silva soon taking control of the game.

    Eman scored another two, with Taiyo Kimura also on the scoresheet - as the match looked to be heading straight to penalties inside the final five minutes.

    Former football freestyler Billy Wingrove had other ideas, jinking down the left and cutting back for Adam Waheed, who scored a dramatic late winner to give KSI x Aboflah the win.

    One man not on the scoresheet was iShowSpeed who looked genuinely upset at full-time and was consoled by the likes of Silva, Thierry Henry, Del Piero and Andrea Pirlo.

    His wait for a charity goes on after three years of playing in this type of game - and he there is now talk of retiring from them.

  • Charity wins

    We haven't had an updated total since full-time but just a small reminder that all that fun in Qatar was for the Education Above All Foundation.

    The charity is "committed to ensuring that children around the world have access to quality education".

    Last year, $8.8million was raised but that was blown out of the water this time around.

    An announcement during the game showed that more than $10.7MILLION had been raised.

  • Star men

    While the likes of Thierry Henry and David Silva showed off their obvious quality, a couple of the celebs stood out with some incredible performances.

    Eman SV2 was named man of the match for his hat-trick - which included three very different goals.

    His first was a pile-driver from the edge of the box, he wrapped his second into the far corner and for the third he peeled off his defender and slotted home from close-range.

    On the opposite side was angryginge - who grabbed a goal of his own with a brave header.

    Defending is something of a lost art (especially in charity matches) but angryginge was superb and often a one-man defensive unit.

    He saved arguably three goals with two brilliant tackles and a goal-line clearance.

  • Henry rolling back the years

    Thierry Henry tried his iconic ‘no-look pass’ in the charity match in Qatar today...

    But the pass didn't quite come off as Alessandro Del Piero wasn't quite ready for it, with the ball going out for a throw:

  • Ronaldo, Maguire... and Crouch

    It's hard to diverge from him given the boy's a born entertainer in many ways than one.

    In his cool-down vlog, Speed was aksed by an invidnvudal off-camera for his top five players right now;

    "[Cristano] Ronaldo first, Antony, [Romelu] Lukaku, Harry Maguire, Peter Crouch and [Christian] Eriksen."

    Taste, I guess

  • 'I might retire' - Speed

    A bit of respite for Speed might come from Thierry Henry.

    The Arsenal legend turn-pundit has offered Speed the chance to come onto CBS Sports.

    Speed brushes off the invite citing he could retire!

  • Scoreless Speed

    There's a reason Speed was disheartened at the end of the match.

    Though, losing is not something he has ever taken kindly to, the lack of goals will be what is concerning to him the most.

    In the four charity matches the global YouTuber has played in, he has failed to score in any of them.

    Not sure how his idol Cristiano Ronaldo would've taken to that.

  • Speed consoled by Italian legends

    Speed has ended up on the losing side again in a charity match.

    Italian icons Alessandro Del Piero and Andrea Pirlo were on hands to console him.
