Record-Breaking Numbers | Most Goals in Event History

With 20 goals scored across 90 minutes, the 2026 edition surpassed the 2025 match (18 goals) to become the highest-scoring Sidemen Charity Match of all time. The pace and openness of the game reflected both the attacking lineups and what one observer called "the worst combined defending in Wembley history."

The pre-match lineup confirmed earlier this week included a mix of returning veterans and new faces, with KSI captaining the YouTube Allstars for the first time.

Notable Performances | Miniminter Hat-Trick, KSI Open-Play Goal, ItalianBach Equalizer

Sidemen FC had multiple standout moments despite the loss on penalties. TBJZL (Tobi Brown) opened the scoring with a world-class free kick, with Zerkaa, Vikkstar123, and ChrisMD all scoring across the 90 minutes.

On the YouTube Allstars side, Jynxzi was the standout performer, scoring twice to claim Man of the Match. Miniminter (Simon Minter) scored another hat-trick, cementing his status as the all-time leading scorer in the Sidemen Charity Match's history. KSI managed his first open-play goal since 2018. ItalianBach delivered the most important moment of the match, equalizing in the 90th minute to force penalties.

Angry Ginge scored early from a corner, adding another chapter to the charity match tradition of unlikely goals from non-professional players.

Viral Moment | Max Fosh Burns a Yellow Card in Front of 90,000 Fans

The single most-shared moment of the match came from off-the-ball. Max Fosh performed a magic trick on referee Mark Clattenburg, apparently "burning" a yellow card he had been shown in front of the entire Wembley crowd. The clip spread rapidly across social media within minutes of the match ending and is expected to become one of the most-viewed Sidemen Charity Match moments online.

Charities | £6.2M Raised for Bright Side and M7 Education

The match raised £6,218,875, making it the highest single fundraising event the Sidemen have organized. Beneficiary charities include Bright Side, focused on youth mental health, and M7 Education, which funds access to education for underserved communities. The Sidemen have now raised over £15 million cumulative through the charity match series since its first edition.

Full charity breakdowns and donation totals are expected to be published by the Sidemen across their channels within 48 hours of the match.
