A Bollywood football match organised as part of the Global Indian Film Awards festivities here saw Salman Khan's team steal the show.

It was a mixed team with Salman Khan, John Abraham, Arbaaz Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala in one team and Aftab Shivdasani, Arjun Rampal, Upen Patel and Sohail Khan in the other.

After a tense game, Salman's team won but the man of the match was John Abraham who scored the maximum number of goals. Salman's team scored seven goals while Sohail's team scored five.

John charmed sporting hearts in the audience with his skilled playing. Salman and the rest were a tad rusty in the game.

John, who lost a toenail while playing, kept his fans happy by posing with them and giving autographs. However, fans were not allowed to meet Salman who was protected by at least 12 security guards.

Katrina Kaif and Sangeeta Bijlani were in the audience. Suresh Menon's commentary and his take on cricketer Ravi Shastri were much appreciated by the audience.

The Global Indian Films Awards function is being held at Dubai's Al Wasl Stadium.

Bollywood fans from the Gulf have voted for the best actors and the best film through an interactive web-based and print-based poll format. Price Waterhouse Cooper is the official tabulator, endorsing the voting procedures and confirming the winners in all categories.
