The YouTube Allstars triumphed in the seventh edition of the Sidemen Charity Match, held at Wembley Stadium, according to multiple reports. The match ended 10-10 in regular time before the YouTube Allstars secured a 4-1 win in the penalty shootout, as confirmed by major media sources. The event sold out within two-and-a-half hours of tickets going on sale, with around 1.6 million live viewers watching the stream on YouTube, though the exact attendance figure remains unclear, with one source citing 90,000 fans. This year marked the first time the Sidemen were split between the two teams, with KSI, Miniminter, and Behzinga representing the YouTube Allstars, according to major media.

In terms of match highlights, Miniminter scored three goals, bringing his all-time scoring record in the event to 14 goals, as reported by major media. Jynxzi was named Man of the Match, and Tinie Tempah performed during the half-time show, according to multiple sources. The identities of other goal-scorers during the 10-10 regular time result are not detailed in available reports.

The penalty shootout featured dramatic moments, with both managers taking the first penalty kicks for their teams, according to major media. Coach Jack Joseph missed his penalty for SDMN FC, and SDMN FC converted only one penalty in the shootout, as reported by sources. Max Fosh converted his penalty for the YouTube Allstars, and the YouTube Allstars have won the last two editions of the match on penalties, including a 2025 victory where streamer IShowSpeed converted his penalty to win. The specific rules or format for the penalty shootout, such as whether it was sudden death or best of five, are not specified, nor is the total number of penalties taken before the 4-1 result was decided.

I had six days. Had to come up with something. It worked about 50 percent of the time when I practised it at home.

Max Fosh, YouTube star

Notable incidents included YouTube star Max Fosh setting his yellow card on fire after being booked by referee Mark Clattenburg during the match, according to major media. Max Fosh fouled internet star Marlon Garcia to earn the yellow card, and he has nearly five million YouTube subscribers and 590,000 Instagram followers, as reported by sources. According to Daily Mail - Sport, Max Fosh described having six days to prepare for the stunt, noting it worked about 50 percent of the time when practised at home.

Charity impact was significant, with the match raising £6,218,875 for charity by the end of the stream, according to multiple reports. The charities supported were Bright Side and M7 Education, though the specific causes or projects funded beyond these general names are not detailed. In related context, Angry Ginge (Morgan Burtwistle) won the 2025 edition of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, and KSI bought a stake in sixth-tier football club Dagenham & Redbridge, as reported by major media.

Unanswered questions about the event include the exact attendance figure, as sources conflict on whether it was 90,000 or simply a sold-out Wembley. Additionally, the specific charities or causes supported by the £6.2 million raised beyond Bright Side and M7 Education are not clarified in available reports.
