Match Report: Inter Legends FC 6–3 David Bentley XI | Sixfields Stadium Charity Football Match
Inter Legends FC returned to action in style on a sunny afternoon at Sixfields Stadium, securing a thrilling 6-3 victory over David Bentley XI in front of a fantastic crowd that turned up in support of another memorable charity football match.
The match was packed with energy, flair, and entertainment from start to finish. Fans were treated to some vintage football from a host of former professionals and celebrities who showcased that, while the pace may have slowed, the class never fades. In what has become a trademark of any Inter Legends fixture, the team played with fluidity and flair, delighting the supporters with moments of magic and humour in equal measure.
David Bentley, the man behind the opposition side, rolled back the years and reminded everyone of his quality with two absolute belters that had the entire ground on its feet. His performance encapsulated the spirit of the day—competitive yet full of respect, and always played in the right spirit.
Despite Bentley’s brilliance, it was Inter Legends FC who controlled the majority of the game, with a composed and confident display that saw them dominate possession and create a host of chances throughout the 90 minutes. Every player in an Inter shirt contributed to the result, from rock-solid defending to some silky moves in midfield and clinical finishing up front.
This Legends Football Match wasn’t just about the result. The real victory came off the pitch. The day was all about raising awareness and funds for a brilliant cause, with every ticket sold helping to support a charitable initiative close to the hearts of many involved. Events like this show the true power of football to bring people together, and the atmosphere at Sixfields reflected that spirit perfectly.
Fans travelled from all over to attend this charity football match, packing out the stands and making plenty of noise from the first whistle to the last. Their support did not go unnoticed. The players from both teams took time after the game to meet supporters, pose for pictures, and share stories—one of the many things that makes these events so special.
