Chelsea legend Dider Drogba showed he’s still got it when he scored two top-quality goals in a star-studded charity match in Qatar on Friday evening.
Drogba was one of many football legends to take part in the Match for Hope, which featured a line-up including David Villa, Kaka and Eden Hazard.
And he clearly still knows where the target lies, as he provided two brilliant finishes for Team Aboflah.
The first was a great team goal as Kaka and Yung Filly exchanged quick passes before the latter lofted a ball over the top for Drogba, who then smashed the ball into the bottom corner with his left hand.
The Ivorian then got his second in the closing stages of the match, latching onto a ball over the top and rounding the keeper before tapping it into the empty net.
