YouTuber iShowSpeed is once again causing a stir at charity matches, this time at the expense of 2007 Ballon d’Or winner Kaka.
The YouTube star crashed into the Brazilian star, despite fortunately walking away with only a yellow card.
Known for his fervent support of Cristiano Ronaldo, Speed has become a familiar face in Sidemen FC matches and was selected for a star-studded charity event in Qatar.
The match sees Team Aboflah take on Team Chunkz to raise money for the Education Above All (EAA) Foundation, to provide education to millions of out-of-school children around the world.
