Didier Drogba rolled back the years with a five-star performance for Team Aboflah against Team Chunkz in this year's 'Match For Hope' charity game in Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, Qatar.
Playing alongside football legeds such as Eden Hazard, Kaka, and David Villa, Drogba shone bright scoring two sensational goals to recreate and bring back memories of those magical moments during his playing career.
The footballing icon lashed his first goal into the bottom corner with a left-footed strike after a brilliant team play.
His second goal was an absolute sensation. Receiving a long pass from his half, Drogba controlled the ball, paced forward with speed, and beat his marker to come one-on-one with Team Chunkz goalkeeper.
Coming against the goalkeeper, the Ivorien legend stole his way easily, beating the goalie who had sprawled on the ground, before he rolled the ball effortlessly pass the goal line.
It was a brilliant individual performance. His speed, confidence, skills, and goalscoring prowess all tell on the goal which was reminiscent of his heroic career days in England.
Drogba was known for his incredible goalscoring prowess. Back in the late 2000s when he was at the peak of his career with Chelsea in the Premier League, Drogba's peculiar attacking qualities contributed immensely to the evolution of the renowned 4-3-2-1 formation which had a lone striker left up front to do the job. He was indeed a revelational striker that revolutionized the game.
The two-time African Footballer of The Year was regarded as one of the best Premier League strikers of his time and the best from Africa. He earned widespread acclaim for his goalscoring heroics after he netted 100 times in 226 Premier League appearances for Chelsea, winning 4 Premier League titles, 4 FA Cups, 3 EFL Cups, and a Champions League.
Drogba won the Premier League Golden Boot twice in 2007 and 2006, and recorded the most assists in 2006.
He has won Ivory Coast Player of the Year three times, African Footballer of the Year two times, Chelsea Players' Player of The Year, and Chelsea Player of the Year. The former Marseille forward had also bagged several individual awards in Ligue 1 and Turkish Super Lig.
