The Sidemen Charity Match 2025 at Wembley Stadium delivered one of its most unforgettable finishes, with IShowSpeed scoring the decisive penalty to lead the YouTube Allstars to victory over Sidemen FC.
In front of a sold-out crowd, fans witnessed an 18-goal spectacle packed with wild moments, unexpected twists, and end-to-end action. Joe Weller opened the scoring in just seven minutes, setting the tone for a chaotic match filled with defensive lapses and stunning goals. YouTube sensation MrBeast had an early chance to extend the Allstars’ lead but missed a penalty, though ChrisMD quickly made up for it with a stunning 25-yard free kick.
The first half continued at breakneck speed, with goals flying in from both sides. Chris Baker capitalized on a ChrisMD corner, while Weller grabbed his second, only for TBJZL to equalize just before halftime, making it 4-4.
IShowSpeed’s Moment of Redemption
After the break, the Sidemen found their rhythm, with Logan Paul and Zerkaa putting them ahead once again. However, AngryGinge—who had been moved from defense to attack—pulled one back for the Allstars, leveling the score at 6-6.
IShowSpeed, despite missing several big chances earlier in the game, finally had his breakthrough moment. He won a penalty and confidently slotted it home, celebrating in his signature over-the-top style. Moments later, he turned playmaker, setting up Kai Cenat for another goal, as the match remained on a knife’s edge.
With just minutes remaining, AngryGinge’s misplaced clearance gifted George Clarke an easy tap-in, seemingly securing a win for the Sidemen at 9-8. But in a last-second twist, Theo Baker completed his hat trick with the final kick of regular time, forcing the match into a penalty shootout.
The shootout started with heroics from Allstars goalkeeper Sketch, who denied Sidemen’s Simon Minter from the spot. That set the stage for Speed, who stepped up for the decisive penalty. Though XQC got a hand to it, the ball found the net, securing a dramatic 5-4 shootout win for the YouTube Allstars.
