Sidemen 2-1 Youtube All-Stars

Three minutes of added time despite Theo Baker being down for at least five.

GOAL! Sidemen 2-1 Youtube All-Stars (Miniminter)

Miniminter strikes again!

He latches on to a ball over the top and slots it into the bottom corner.

He’s no stranger to a goal in this game.

Sidemen 1-1 Youtube All-Stars

It’s fairly clear that Speed hasn’t learned the offside rule. That lineman’s arm must be getting saw.

Speed coy mes to life!

He shows great ‘speed’ down the right before being muscled off by the man known as ‘Angry Ginge’.

There’s some afters too has they square up. All a bit of fun.

The heat is definitely having an impact here. The energy levels have declined rapidly.

The live stream is up to 2.2 million. Impressive.

The stretcher is on. Baker recently underwent hip surgery and this is sad to see.

This has certainly killed the mood.

A round of applause as he is carried off. What a shame.

A really worry for the All-Stars as captain Theo Bakers stays down injured.

He’s recieving treatment but it doesn’t look good.

A drinks break in this sizzling heat.

KSI is giving a team talk so passionate that you’d believe this was the World Cup final.

Behzinga on his goal: ‘I can’t believe it’.

Speed gets a taste of his own medicine as Harry flies in ewith a perfect sliding challenge.

If you’re wondering why KSI is in goal it’s because he has a rather big fight coming up against Tommy Fury.

GOAL! Sidemen 1-1 Youtube All-Stars (ChrisMD)

What a goal!

Football Youtuber ChrisMD weaves his way through three defenders before slotting past KSI.

Not entirely surprising to see him on the scoresheet, considering he does actually play football every day for a living.

KSI is fuming with his defence as he’s interviewed after the goal.

Sidemen 1-0 Youtube All-Stars

Kai Cenat is replaced by Chunks.

Commentator Stephen Tries adds ‘Kai playing like Kai Havertz’. Can’t argue there.

Sidemen 1-0 Youtube All-Stars

Simon has a pop from 30 yards but it takes a deflection and is easily claimed.

He does have a good shot on him…

GOAL! Sidemen 1-0 Youtube All-Stars (Behzinga)

What a moment!

Behzinga powers thrugh two challenges before finishing into the bottom corner. The lifelong West Ham fan scores at their stadium in front of a full crowd.

The shirt is off and his makes the hammers symbol with his arms.

Doesn’t get much better for a football fan.

Sidemen 0-0 Youtube All-Stars

The ball is in the net but it won’t count!

It’s Kai Cenat standing a mile offside this time, not Speed.

He puts it away and celebrates like his team-mate did last year.

Who’s gonna tell him.

Sidemen 0-0 Youtube All-Stars

t’s a repeat of last year as Speed flies into a challenge with his first involvvement of the game.

This time it’s Harry on the recieving end.

Theo Baker almost opens the scoring in the first minute but pulls his shot just wide.

KICK-OFF

A remote control car brings the ball on to the pitch and WillNE proceeds to slide tackle it.

And now we’re underway.

Here we go

The teams are on their way out.

Both sets of players are actually looking pretty tense in the tunnel but it’s all smiles as they’re greeted by the sold out London Stadium.

Goals guaranteed

We had 15 last year and with KSI and xQc in goal we can expect plenty today.

Over 1 million viewers already

The match doesn’t kick off for another 15 minutes but the stream is already into the millions.

The biggest charity game in the world.

And there’s some amusing scenes as the punditry team, which includes the likes of Eni Aluko and Joleon Lescott, is doused by the sprinkler system pitchside.

They saw the funny side.

All eyes on Speed

There’s no doubt who the star of last year’s match was.

Speed set the tone by taking KSI out in the first minute. He then spent 17 minutes offside and even managed to put the ball in the net.

Obviously it was ruled out but he didn’t care as he performed his hero Ronaldo’s iconic cleebration.

Can they break their own record?

30 minutes to kick-off

Not long to go now!

West Ham’s ground is filling up nicely. You can expect plenty of noise today. Probably a little more high pitched than this stadium is used to…

Warm-ups underway

The line-ups

Who are The Sidemen?

The Sidemen are a group of YouTubers, who originally formed a decade ago, after forming a bond on an online platform for fans of popular video game, Grand Theft Auto.

The collective is made up of KSI, real name Olajide ‘JJ’ Olatunji; Simon Minter, known online as Miniminter; Joshua Bradley, known online as Zerkaa; Tobi Brown, known online as TBJZL; Ethan Payne, known online as Behzinga; Vikram Barn, known as Vikkstar123 and Harry Lewis, known as W2S.

Describing the group’s name, Minter said in a video: ‘A sideman is basically someone’s b**** who just follows them around… I was basically JJ’s b**** that followed him around.’

The group have produced a host of comedy sketches and online challenges since launching their video channel in 2015, earning them more than 18million subscribers.

Goldbridge in charge again

The Manchester United fan is back in the hot seat to take charge of the All-Stars.

The players have arrived

The squads

Plenty of big names

KSI, IShowSpeed and several other YouTube stars are set to take to the field at the Sidemen Charity Match.

Last year saw team Sidemen defeat the YouTube All Stars 8-7 in a dramatic match at The Valley in Charlton.

The 2022 showcase drew 2.6 million concurrent viewers and more than 18 million views in the first 24 hours.

Tickets have already sold out, and the event is raising money for a wide range of charities, including Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), Teenage Cancer Trust and Rays of Sunshine.

Good afternoon!

And welcome to Sportsmail’s live coverage of the fifth Sidemen charity match.

If it’s anything like last year’s it promises to be a very entertaining afternoon.

Stay with us for all the action with kick-off at 3pm at West Ham’s London Stadium.
