The team from Mathare Youth Sports Association (MYSA) beat the Kick Aids team from South Africa in a penalty shootout after the match had ended 2-2 in normal time.

The MYSA players are drawn from shanty towns.

The "streetfootballworld" tournament, held in the Berlin district of Kreuzberg, featured matches lasting 12 minutes with teams of five players, all aged between 16 and 21.

Other teams included a lineup from the United States which represented the fight against drug abuse and a mixed team of Israelis and Palestinians.

The tournament was created in memory of Colombian player Andres Escobar, who was murdered after scoring an own goal in the 1994 World Cup.

Many of the participants in the street football tournament were invited to attend World Cup matches.

The tournament got off to a bad start when two teams, from Ghana and Nigeria, were denied visas by the German authorities.
