Lucky
fans in the French city of Saint-Etienne were given a treat on Monday
night as Brazilian Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane took part in the 12th
annual Match Against Poverty.
Footballing
legends Ronaldo and Zidane were joined by a host of former greats
including Clarence Seedorf, Fabian Barthez, Jay-Jay Okocha and Gianluca
Zambrotta to name a few.
Brazilian
ace Ronaldo had been rumoured to come out of retirement with American
side Fort Lauderdale in recent times and the 38-year-old showed he still
has what it takes with a hat trick.

Like
many charity friendly matches defending was at a premium, but goals
were certainly not as the match at the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium reached
double figures.
One of the goals of the game came from the super cool Seedorf who earned his name on the score sheet with a sublime chip.
Former
French international David Trezeguet also played and scored in the
match, but it was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who shone the brightest as
he grabbed a hat-trick during his side’s 9-7 defeat.
