Vikkstar123 scores in front of 27K fans, memes roll in

Vikkstar123 managed to score the first goal for his team in the 12th minute after the YouTube All-Stars acquired a two-goal lead courtesy of a long-range goal from Chunkz and an inside-the-box finish from Niko Omilana.

Vikram is not renowned for his on-the-pitch heroics; however, this was not the first time he scored in front of a massive crowd. Back in 2018, the YouTuber managed to introduce the ball to the net in a penalty in the 57th minute of a match. Following that, Sidemen FC went on to win the game by seven goals to one against the YouTube All-Stars.

Today's goal by Vikkstar was naturally celebrated by hundreds. Twitter users hailed both Vikkstar123 and Darren "IShowSpeed" as the main attractions of the game, with some viewers comparing the duo to Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. One user tweeted:

This is the fourth time that the UK-based YouTube group has organized a charity football event. The first two were streamed in 2016 and 2017, with Sidemen FC, the host team, winning the first one and YouTube All-Stars taking the second. The latest charity event, however, has been the grandest, featuring the likes of Jimmy "MrBeast", Karl Jacobs, Noah Beck, Chunkz, and more getting involved.
