There are football legends...and then there are these guys!

Former world and European champions , Zinedine Zidane along with Ronaldo and other legends of football joined forces in  a charity match where children across the world have become the true winners.

Zidane and his team were playing at Stade de Suisse, home to BSC Young Boys, in front of 20,000 football fans. With a 8-6 victory, Zidane led his team to victory over the Young Boys and friends team.

The aim of the match was to help make a positive change in the lives of children across the world. Proceeds from the game went to UNDP  reconstruction work in the Philippines and the Laureus Foundation Switzerland helping change lives of young people through sport.

The crowd on the night, meanwhile, were treated to a game of real thrills and spills.

The BSC Young Boys & Friends team took an early 3-0 lead thanks to an audacious hat-trick from Stéphane Chapuisat after a little more than half an hour.

But the legend Zidane, who won the Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011, took a goal back just before the break.

Soon after the players took to the field in the second half, Christian Vieri scored two quick goals to level the score. The second half would then go on to see even more action, with the crowd witnessing a true goal-fest before the final score ended 8-6.

Also playing at the Stade de Suisse was Laureus Ambassador Luis Figo, Paolo Maldini , Michel Salgado, Pavel Nedved and multiple Brazilian football World champion Marta.

Among the prominent spectators was UEFA President Michel Platini.

The Laureus Foundation Switzerland, who are charity partners of BSC Young Boys, were joint beneficiaries of the match along with the United Nations Development Programme.
