Fresh from masterminding Germany’s seven-goal demolition of Gibraltar, manager Joachim Low showed off his skills in a charity match for Sami Khedira’s foundation.

The midfielder, who recently left Real Madrid to sign for Juventus, organised the friendly to raise money for disadvantaged children.

A host of famous faces from Stuttgart and the German footballing world turned out including Jens Lehmann, Miroslav Klose, Jerome Boateng, Lukas Podolski, Julian Draxler and Oliver Bierhoff.

‘Sami’s All-Stars’ won the high-scoring contest 9-8 even though the midfielder represented ‘Khedira XI’ too.

World Cup legend Miroslav Klose proved he still can pull off some magic, scoring an audacious chip from 18 yards having been on a marauding run.

Meanwhile amongst the scorers was Low, who hit a brace acting as a false No 9 and Khedira was impressed by his national boss: ‘I believe that Jogi was almost everywhere on the field. He has done really well,’ praised Khedira.

‘This was an outstanding event. Thanks to all who have come,’ Khedira told the entertained crowd. ‘We have, I think, exceeded all expectations. We still have to count, but I think we have a minimum income of £250,000.’
