Re-watchable Goal

Seedorf's goal at Game4Ukraine was a classic. The Dutchman turned back time by unleashing one of his trademark screamers into the top corner, sending shockwaves through a charity match organised by former AC Milan teammate Andriy Shevchenko.

The 47-year-old began his strike with a quick shimmy, easily passing his defence with one flick of his right foot. From a regular camera angle, his shot may seem perfectly straight; however, it eventually takes an unexpectedly devious bend not long after leaving his foot.

Former Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech and Arsenal legend Jens Lehmann both served on Shevchenko's Blue team, while Arsenal legend Jens Lehmann captained Oleksandr Zinchenko's Yellow team, respectively. Also present were such legends as Gerard Pique, Patrick Vieira, Fabio Cannavaro, Samuel Eto'o, Gianfranco Zola and Michael Essien; proceeds raised at Game4Ukraine will help rebuild a school that had been destroyed due to Russian strikes in Chernihiv.
