Chunkz revealed he nearly cried
In his post-match interview Chunkz revealed he nearly cried when he scored his wonderful long-range effort.
He said: “I looked at the space and thought you know what, Pieface didn’t have the capability (to save his shot).
“Thank god because I thought you know what go for it and I saw it sink in and I almost cried.
“Because you know how I’ve struggled at Soccer Aid three years in a row and I came back to the Sidemen pitch and I done it.”
Lap of honour
Players from both sides are now doing a lap of honour.
Speed is doing a post-match interview now, and claims the celebration for his disallowed goal made him feel like Cristiano Ronaldo.

AnEsonGib is punished for a bad clearance

But it only finds Simon again who redeems himself by dinking it over Cal who was miles off his line.

Sidemen take the lead for the first time today
Chris MD finally gets his goal today, with a similar effort to the last goal.
Cal needs to go with his hands there, but he doesn’t and once again his shot stopping with his feet needs some work.
