The world star team invited for this competition is composed of 17 famous retired players, including several World Cup champions such as Totti, Del Piero, Materazzi, and Rivaldo. Since it was an exhibition match, the offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides was relatively slow, but exciting scenes continued. Only 9 minutes into the game, World Stars took the lead with an assist from Del Piero and Rivaldo. After that, the World Stars team firmly took the initiative. Totti, Mendieta, and Rivaldo scored one after another, setting the half-time score at 4:0.

There was no limit on substitutions in this game. All players from the World Stars team appeared in the second half. Totti’s clever backheel pass, Rivaldo’s ghostly fake move, and Villa’s sharp dribbling breakthrough attracted repeated applause from the audience. Throughout the second half, the two teams scored goals like plum blossoms. Christian scored a goal for the Hong Kong Stars before the end, bringing the game to an end.
After the award ceremony, the stars also walked to the sidelines to interact with fans, which once again sparked cheers from the audience.
