YouTube today has become one of the most powerful online platforms in the world. The reach of the Google-owned platform is exceptionally wide. Naturally, YouTubers today enjoy more fan following than some of the biggest movie stars. YouTubers like PewDiePie and Mr. Beast are some of the biggest names in the industry.
Occasionally the Youtubers use their popularity for the benefit of others which is what happened when YouTubers like KSI, Vikkstar123, Chunkz, IShowSpeed and others got together for a football match to raise money for charity.
The match between Sideman, a YouTubers group and All stars XI was a sold-out event with 27,000 packed into the London stadium while millions watched online. The football match was able to raise more than £1 million. The Sideman FC won the closely fought match by a score of 8-7 at the London Stadium.
While many came out with great performances in the match, it was Speed (IShowSpeed) who hoarded all the limelight with his eventful performance.
The Cristiano Ronaldo fan started the game with explosive energy and took just 20 seconds to slide tackle KSI, a UK-based YouTuber, to wipe the floor with.

The 17-year-old who has 11 million subscribers on YouTube, went on to entertain the crowd throughout the match with his skills, tackles and his electric pace.
The moment of the match came on when Speed was booked by Mark Clattenburg for taking off his jersey. While other professional footballers would have said sorry to the referee and wore the jersey back on, Speed went on to whip the former Premier League referee on the backside with the same jersey.
It was a truly hilarious match due to Speed’s antics throughout the game. His tackle on KSI has since then gone viral with users comparing him to the best professional footballers in a funny fashion.
YouTuber Miniminter scored a hattrick from the Sideman FC while Vikkstar123 and TBJZL produced graces in the 8-7 win over YouTube Allstars.
