Chinese striker Shao Jiayi missed several chances to score at the annual UNDP All-Star game before nearly 50,000 fans in Dusselford, Germany.

Shao was a substitute on Ronaldo's side. The other side was led by Ronaldo's Real Madrid teammater Zinedine Zidane.

Both players are goodwill ambassadors for UN Development Program which organized the Match Against Poverty played earlier Friday morning (Beijing Time).

More than two dozen international stars played, but Germany players turned down the invitations on advice from national coach Juergen Klinsmann, who wanted his players to rest after a long season.

Pierluigi Collina of Italy came out of retirement to referee the match.

Ronaldo and former Brazil teammate Rivaldo reunited for the match, but it was Zidane's selection that had the upper hand on two early goals by Diego Tristan.

Philipp Cocu halved the lead before halftime. Dimitar Berbatov made it a two-goal margin again with 20 minutes left, before Aboutarika pulled one back for Ronaldo's squad. Oli Pocher, a German entertainer, scored the final goal.

Ronaldo and Zidane left the game just before the hour, and Ronaldo was replaced by former Real Madrid star Pedja Mijatovic, now retired. He played less than 10 minutes.

Zadine's side won the game 4-2.
