Roberto Carlos, Luis Figo and Pauleta rolled back the years to score in a charity match between World Stars and an Iranian team.
Ex-Real Madrid left back Carlos opened the scoring after 24 minutes with a thunderous free-kick before his former team-mate Luis Figo doubled the scoreline.
Pauleta, who retired in 2011, rounded off the scoring for the World Stars just before the half-time interval to ensure he was on the winning side in Tehran.
