Man City legend Sergio Agüero, retired two years ago after a heart problem, Colombian Carlos Valderrama and Uruguayan Diego Godín were some of the figures who formed the so-called Tango Team, which beat Samba Team 2-1 with two penalty goals from Gonzalo Higuain.

Ronaldinho, also from the penalty spot, scored the goal for the Samba Team, where, in addition to the Brazilian, the Chilean Iván Zamorano, the Mexican Luis Hernández and the Venezuelan Juan Arango played. Leaders from the highest football entities were also encouraged to participate in the event, which took place amid laughter, jokes and constant hugs on the grass of the DRV PNK Stadium, home of Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino wore Tango’s white shirt, as did Claudio Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Federation (AFA).

Wearing the number 10 on his back, Tapia made an unusual change just a few minutes into the game so that legendary Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt could enter the field. Other well-known names in world football were also at the event, such as former full-back Javier Zanetti and former national team goalkeeper Dida.
