  • Team Shevchenko and team Zinchenko settled for a 2-2 draw in the Game4Ukraine charity match
  • The game featured majorly past stars, and it was used to raise funds for charity in Ukraine
  • AC Milan legend Clarence Seedorf scored the best goal of the game with a stunning effort

AC Milan legend Clarence Seedorf seems not to have lost any bit of his football ability when he took on to the pitch for Team Blue in the Game4Ukraine charity match.

It's been over a year since Russia invaded Ukraine. Damage was done to some of the country's infrastructures, and with football being one of the biggest unifying and influencing forces in the world, it also played its part in helping.

Former Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko and Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko spearheaded the organisation of the game, and both led their respective teams.

Shevy led Team Blue, while Zinny led Team Yellow to represent the two colours of the Ukrainian flag and as noted by Chelsea's official website, proceeds from the game will help rebuild a badly destroyed school.

Seedorf scores stunner

Chelsea legend Petr Cech was in goal for the blue side while Arsenal legend Jens Lehmann manned the goal for the yellow side, and both men proved they still got some reflexes.

According to Sky Football, the best goal of the night was scored by AC Milan legend Seedorf, who cut one to his left foot and unleashed a ferocious shot, leaving Lehmann with no chance.

West Ham legend Mark Noble had put the yellow team ahead. Shakhtar chief Darijo Srna and William Gallas also got on the scoresheet to end the game in a 2-2 draw.

Blues' winter signing from Shakhtar Donetsk, Mykhailo Mudryk, nearly scored a sensational goal, but it came off the woodwork.

Zinchenko's conversation with Mudryk

Sports Brief reported on what Zinchenko told Mudryk after the young winger completed a move to Chelsea in January.

Arsenal tracked the player for months before their rivals came in at the last minute and hijacked the deal, which set the two fanbases in an online battle for weeks.

The former Manchester City star tried his best to get his compatriot to the red side of London but did not feel better at how things ended.
