The Great Britain and Ireland side captained by Beckham, which also featured his son, Brooklyn, and was coached by former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, won 3-1.
The game at Old Trafford, where Beckham spent over 10 years as a player and won six Premier League titles and the Champions League, was the culmination of a fund-raising football marathon undertaken by the 40-year-old who has played seven matches in seven continents during a nine-day spell.
Beckham said: “It was amazing, it doesn’t get any better than that. Today was always going to be special. It has been a long journey over the last nine days.
“We achieved what we wanted and raised a lot of money and shone a light on great causes and children from around the world. I want to thank everyone for their support.”
