There were a number of memorable moments in addition to the massive score, with Sidemen FC maintaining their winning run over the YouTube Allstars with a final score of 8-5.

A memorable moment from the game was when IShowSpeed attempted to tackle MrBeast in the first few minutes of the game. However, Speed's boot struck his opponent's knee instead of grabbing the ball.

Fortunately, MrBeast was able to escape injury. However, the YouTube celebrity acknowledged the effect it had in a tweet on September 10.

“Not gonna lie it’s the next day and I went to stand up and my right knee was throbbing lol,” MrBeast tweeted, alongside a clip of the incident.

Similarly, Jacksepticeye tweeted, "I can't move my legs this morning..." to which MrBeast replied, "Same". Jack then stated, "At least you got tackled! I'm just old."
