Who won Soccer Aid - was it England or the World XI?

After a thumping victory in last year’s edition of the charity match, England came into the 2025 game at the Theatre of Dreams hoping to make it two wins in a row. However it was not to be - as Carlos Tevez inspired the World XI to a comeback victory.

The match started in dream fashion with Wayne Rooney opening the scoring after just 1 minute. Toni Duggan extended the lead just before half-time - making it 2-0 to England.

However Carlos Tevez changed the game in the second half and scored three goals in just 10 minutes to make it 3-3 - after Jermaine Defoe added a third for England. Defoe restored England’s lead in the 65th minute, but Tevez struck again four minutes later to make it 4-3 and again in the 73rd minute to make it four all.

TV star Big Zuu scored the winner for World XI in the 84th minute - making it 5-4 and completing the turn around. It adds to his win in Netflix’s Celebrity Bear Hunt earlier in the year.
