Watched by a crowd of 17,210, the French trio of Pires (two goals), Malouda (three) and Trezeguet (two) accounted for seven goals in a 9-5 victory for a Johor Darul Ta'zim selection side featuring Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim and Lions captain Hariss Harun.
They defeated a Rest of the World XI which included other legends such as Rivaldo, Bebeto, Edgar Davids and Louis Saha.
